Luke 22:52-54
1599 Geneva Bible
52 [a]Then Jesus said unto the high Priests, and captains of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as unto a thief with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the Temple, ye stretched not forth the hands against me: but this is your very hour, and the [b]power of darkness.
54 ¶ (A)Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high Priest’s house. [c]And Peter followed afar off.
