48. And יהושע said to him, “Yehuḏah, do you deliver up the Son of Aḏam with a kiss?”
49. And those around Him, seeing what was about to take place, said to Him, “Master, shall we strike with the sword?”
50. And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51. But יהושע answering, said, “Allow it this far.” And touching his ear He healed him.
52. And יהושע said to those who had come against Him, the chief priests and captains of the Set-apart Place and the elders, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
