The soldiers catch Jesus

⁴⁷ While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd of people came towards him. Judas led the crowd to that place. He was one of the 12 apostles. He came near to Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸ Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, why do you want to kiss me, the Son of Man? You are helping my enemies to take hold of me!’

⁴⁹ The people near to Jesus saw what was happening. They asked him, ‘Lord, should we use our swords to fight?’
