Matthew xxvi. 51 And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high Priest, and smote of his ear. 52 Then Jesus said unto him, put up thy sword into his place, for all that take the sword, shall perish with the sword. 53 Either thinkest thou, that I cannot pray to my Father, and he will give me moe then twelve legions of Angels? 54 How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that it must be so? ⟨p. 36⟩55 The same hour said Jesus to the multitude, ye be come out as it were against a thief, with swords & staves to take me: I sate daily preaching in the Temple among you, and ye took me not. 56 But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled, Then all the Disciples forsook him and fled. 57 And they took Jesus, and led him to Caiaphas the high Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled. 58 And Peter followed him a far of unto the high Priests hall, and went in, and sate with the servants to see the end. 59 Now the chief Priests and the Elders, and all the whole Council sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death. 60 But they found none, and though many false witnesses came, yet found they none: but at the last came two false witnesses. 61 And said, This man said, I can destroy the Temple of God, and build it in three days. 62 Then the chief Priest arose, and said to him, answerest thou nothing? What is the matter, that these men witness against thee? 63 •ut Jesus held his peace, Then the chief Priest answered, and said to him, I charge thee by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus said to him, thou hast said it: Nevertheless, I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man, sitting at the right hand of the power of God, & come in the clouds of the heaven. 65 Then the high Priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath blasphemed: What have we any more need of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66 What think ye? They answered and said, he is worthy to dye.
