- Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
- While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
- Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."
- Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
- Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for." Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.

- Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
- And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
- Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
- And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
- And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
