            and laid hands on Jesus, and held Him. Then Simon Peter, having
                                                a sword, stretching forth his hand, drew it out, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut
        off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.

                                                But Jesus answering, said to Peter: "Suffer ye thus far. Put up again thy sword into its scabbard;
                                                    for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot ask My Father,
                                                and He will give Me presently more than twelve legions of angels? How then shall the Scriptures be
                                                fulfilled, that so it must be done? The chalice which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink
                    it?" And when He had touched his [the servant's] ear, He healed him.

                                                        In that same hour Jesus said to the magistrates of the Temple, and to the multitudes that were come
                                                        unto Him: "Are you come out, as it were against a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend Me?
                                                When I sat daily with you, teaching in the Temple, you did not lay hands on Me. But this is your
hour, and the power of darkness."

                            Now all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.
                                                    Then His disciples leaving Him, all fled away. And a certain young man followed Him, having a linen
                                                cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him. But he, casting off the linen cloth,
fled from them naked.

Jesus' Interior Prayer and Lamentation

                                                        Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver Me. Look down, O Lord, to help Me. I am become a reproach among all
                                                            My enemies, and very much to My neighbors, and a fear to My acquaintances: Strike the shepherd, and
                                                        the sheep shall be scattered. They that saw Me without, fled from Me. I am forgotten, as one dead
                from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.

                                                             Judge Thou, O Lord, them that wrong Me; overthrow them that fight against Me. Take hold of arms and
                    shield, and rise up to help
