While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matthew 26:47 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
43 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
47 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
49 Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 “Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
51 At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
