10 the disciples . . . include a betrayer.

26:45-55

26:45-55 Then he comes to the disciples and says to them. "You can sleep now and rest. Behold the hour has drawn near and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let’s go. The one betraying me is near." And while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived and with him there was a big crowd of people carrying swords and clubs. They were from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the one betraying him had given them a sign saying “Whoever I kiss, that is the one. Seize him.” And immediately on reaching Jesus he approached and said “Hello Rabbi” and affectionately kissed him. But Jesus said to him. “Comrade what are you doing here?” Then approaching, they laid hands

on Jesus and seized him. Then one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, striking the slave of the high priest and cutting off his ear. Jesus says to him. “Put back your sword into its place for those who take up a sword will perish by a sword. Do you not realise I could ask my Father and he would provide me now with more than twelve legions of angels? But it must be like this so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” In that hour (of betrayal) Jesus said to the crowds “You come out with swords and clubs to take me as if I were a robber. I sat daily in the temple teaching and you did not seize me. But this has all come to pass so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.”

26:56-27:56 Then the disciples all leaving him fled. But those who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scribes and the elders were assembled. Peter followed him from afar up to the court of the high priest and going in sat with the attendants to see the end. The chief priests and the whole council sought false witnesses against Jesus so they might put him to death. But though many false witnesses approached they did not find any (credible ones). However later two approached and said “This man said I can destroy the shrine of God (temple) and after three days re-build it. Standing up the

high priest said to him. “Do you have nothing to answer these men giving evidence against you?” But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him. “I command you by the living God that you tell us if you are the Christ the Son of God.” Jesus says to him “You say it. Yet I tell you you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his garments saying “He blasphemed. What more need do we have of witnesses? You have now heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” And they answered saying “He is liable to death.”

Then they spat in his face and violently maltreated him. They slapped him saying “Prophesy to us Christ. Who is it who has struck you?” And Peter sat outside in the court. A maidservant approached him saying. “You were also with Jesus the Galilaean.” But he denied it before everyone saying “I do not know what you are talking about.” And going out into the porch someone else saw him and said to those there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.” And again he denied it with an oath saying “I do not know the man.” And after a little while those there approached and said to Peter “Truly you are
