Ch. 26 Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!" While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him." Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for." Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?" At that time Jesus said to the crowd, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. | Ch. 14 The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!" Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard." Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him. The men seized Jesus and arrested him. Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Am I leading a rebellion," said Jesus, "that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled." Then everyone deserted him and fled. A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind. | Ch. 22 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?" And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him. Then 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? Every 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." | Ch. 18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." "I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go." This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?" |

Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Mary-Lou!
#15 is a really interesting perspective. It looks like a still from a film. I haven’t seen most of these before, but that one really stands out as different. It zooms in on the personal level of the betrayal, while showing the broader immediate consequences of it looming. Love it.
That one does stand out, showing Judas’ lack of fear in approaching Jesus, well ahead of the soldiers. Could have happened, I suppose.
#45 is The Kiss of Judas (El Beso de Judas) by Francisco Salzillo, 1754
An excellent focus on a critical moment.
Christ Healing the Ear of Malchus by Tissot
Thanks or supplying my lack.
All very beautiful for this sad event. The one by Caravaggio is remarkable. He groups the figures tightly together,and he uses a strong light and dark contrast for an extraordinary sense of drama. As a curiosity, Caravaggio painted himself in the man holding a lantern.
#34 was by Polidoro da Caravaggio, not related to the more modern Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (known today as only Caravaggio). Polidoro was one of the more successful pupils of Raphael.
#44 is the super work of manuscript illuminator Jean Bourdichon, a page from the Book of Hours of Anne of Brittany. It is considered the most magnificent book of hours ever painted. Bourdichon was the very talented pupil of Jean Fouquet, another favorite of mine.
#15 by Feely is great. Love that eerie atmosphere, it heightens the tense drama of the moment.
Had the same trouble, thanks for showing what some of us missed. There is another picture, #21, where Jesus has turned his eyes toward Peter while healing Malchus with his hand.
Thank you, kind Alba. Hoping your day goes well....
Thank you! Today is better than before....
Which # is that eta? I can't find it.
What is the meaning, or significance of the man in linen? (#33 shows that part of the story-the only one here, I think).
#48 & #49 by Stom...his figures seem so alive!
"A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind." Mark 14
Indeed, this young man referred to by Mark is commonly understood to be John Mark himself. He knew about it because he lived it!
Whether there is some symbolic connection to Ezekiel 9's "man in linen" is beyond me.
The one by Caravaggio is #5.
The naked man running away has nothing to do with the story (#33 by Cavalier d’Arpino) but expresses the taste of the late Roman Mannerism, of which d’Arpino was the best exponent of the time.
Matthias Stom paintings are very beautiful. As many other artists, he portrays Jesus in traditional robes and puts all other figures in more contemporary clothes, a way to connect biblical stories to modern life.
Thanks for your explanation, I did not know the reference.
Love the depiction of light in 30
Bad joke: You may like its light, but Malchus doesn’t like its sound.
