50 Jesus, porém, lhe perguntou: Amigo, para que vieste? Então chegaram, agarraram Jesus, e o prenderam.

51 E eis que um dos que [estavam] com Jesus estendeu a mão, puxou de sua espada, e feriu o servo do sumo sacerdote, cortando-lhe uma orelha.

52 Jesus, então, lhe disse: Põe de volta tua espada ao seu lugar, pois todos os que pegarem espada, pela espada perecerão.
