Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(A)

²¹ From that time Jesus began ^(B)to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane^(A)

⁴⁷ And ^(B)while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” ⁴⁹ Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” ^(C)and kissed Him.

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, ^(D)“Friend, why have you come?”

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. ⁵¹ And suddenly, ^(E)one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁵² But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, ^(F)for all who take the sword will ^[a]perish by the sword. ⁵³ Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with ^(G)more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, ^(H)that it must happen thus?”

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. ⁵⁶ But all this was done that the ^(I)Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

Then ^(J)all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Jesus Faces the Sanhedrin^(K)

^57 (L)And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

^42 (A)Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

⁶⁴ You have heard the ^(A)blasphemy! What do you think?”

And they all condemned Him to be deserving of ^(B)death.

⁵ They answered Him, ^(A)“Jesus ^[a]of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who ^(B)betrayed Him, also stood with them.

⁷ The Jews answered him, ^(A)“We have a law, and according to ^[a]our law He ought to die, because ^(B)He made Himself the Son of God.”
