JESUS ARRESTED
Key verse: 53,54
NIV
Jesus Arrested(A)
47 While he was still speaking, Judas,(B) 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. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”(C) and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[a](D)
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,(E) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.(F)
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.(G) 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?(H) 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled(I) that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching,(J) and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”(K) Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
47 (A)While he was still speaking, (B)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, (C)Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 50 Jesus said to him, (D)“Friend, (E)do what you came to do.”[a] Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his (F)sword and struck the servant[b] of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For (G)all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 (H)Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me (I)more than twelve (J)legions of angels? 54 (K)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day (L)I sat in the temple (M)teaching, and you did not seize me. 56 But (N)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” (O)Then all the disciples left him and fled.

1. The kiss of Judas (47-5
a)
Judas, one of the Twelve, led the mob to Jesus. Then, according to a prearranged signal, he kissed Jesus and said, 'Greetings, Rabbi.' Jesus did not run, fight, or hate--he called him 'Friend.' Jesus died for his friends (Jn 15:13). When Judas rejected Jesus' love, Satan came into his heart.
2. Put away your sword (5
b-52)
One disciple (Peter) thought he was ready. He had a sword--and he used it. But Jesus stopped him. Jesus' way is not the way of human zeal nor the way of the sword. His disciples had slept instead of praying; they were not ready.
3. Scripture fulfilled (53-56)
Jesus could have asked for an army of angels to come and save him, but he didn't. He had come to do God's will. His arrest and death fulfilled Scripture.
Prayer: Lord, help me to find direction for all my decisions not in personal benefit or human calculations, but in your word.
One Word: To fulfill Scripture
