45. Then He came to His taught ones and said to them, “Still sleeping and taking rest? See, the hour has come near, and the Son of Aḏam is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46. “Rise, let us go. See, he who delivers Me up has come near.”
47. And while He was still speaking, see, Yehuḏah, one of the twelve, with a large crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48. And he who was delivering Him up gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He, seize Him.”
49. And going straight up to יהושע he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50. And יהושע said to him, “Friend, why have you come?” Then they came and laid hands on יהושע and seized Him.
51. And look, one of those with יהושע put out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest he cut off his ear.
52. Then יהושע said to him, “Return your sword to its place, for all who take the sword shall die by the sword.
53. “Or do you think that I am not able to pray to My Father now, and He shall provide Me with more than twelve legions of messengers?
