New English Translation

Betrayal and Arrest

43 Right away, while Jesus[a] was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived.[b] With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law[c] and elders. 44 (Now the betrayer[d] had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.”)[e] 45 When Judas[f] arrived, he went up to Jesus[g] immediately and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed[h] him.
