147. The Arrest of Jesus (continued)

        ⁵⁰Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus. ¹⁰Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it. ¹¹Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; ⁵²for they who take the sword will perish by the sword. ¹¹Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me? ⁵³Do you think I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?”
        ¹²So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him. ⁵⁵At 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 I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.”
        ⁵⁶Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
        ⁵¹And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen coat about his body. They seized him, ⁵²but he left the linen coat and ran away naked.
