A Triumphant King – Day 98

₄₇Jesus was still speaking when Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs and sent by the chief priests and the elders. ₄₈The traitor had given the crowd a signal: “The man I kiss is the one you want. Arrest him!”

₄₉Judas went straight to Jesus and said, “Peace be with you, Teacher,” and kissed him.

₅₀Jesus answered, “Be quick about it, friend!”

Then they came up, arrested Jesus, and held him tight.
