46 Levez-vous, allons; voici, celui qui me livre s’approche.

47 Comme il parlait encore, voici, Judas, l’un des douze, arriva, et avec lui une foule nombreuse armée d’épées et de bâtons, envoyée par les principaux sacrificateurs et par les anciens du peuple.

48 Celui qui le livrait leur avait donné ce signe: Celui que je baiserai, c’est lui; saisissez-le.

49 Aussitôt, s’approchant de Jésus, il dit: Salut, Rabbi! Et il le baisa.

50 Jésus lui dit: Mon ami, ce que tu es venu faire, fais-le. Alors ces gens s’avancèrent, mirent la main sur Jésus, et le saisirent.
