Jesus Arrested
While Jesus and me were still speaking,Judas,one of my twelve disciples,arrived. With him and i was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs,sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "the one I kiss is the man;arrest him". Approaching me,Judas said "Greetings,Rabbi!" and kissed me. "Do what you came for,friend." Jesus replied. Then the man stepped forward,seized him then arrested him. With that,I reached for my sword,drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest,cutting of his ear. "Put your sword back in its place" Jesus said to me,"For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. do you think I cannot call on my father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? but how then would the scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?" in that hour Jesus said to the crowd, "am Jesus leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. but this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
