49When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”
50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?
53Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.”
