14:43 說話之間,忽然那十二個門徒裡的猶大來了,並有許多人帶著刀棒,從祭司長和文士並長老那裡與他同來。
14:44 賣耶穌的人曾給他們一個暗號,說:「我與誰親嘴,誰就是他。你們把他拿住,牢牢靠靠地帶去。」
14:45 猶大來了,隨即到耶穌跟前,說:「拉比」,便與他親嘴。
14:46 他們就下手拿住他。
14:47 旁邊站著的人,有一個拔出刀來,將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀,削掉了他一個耳朵。
14:48 耶穌對他們說:「你們帶著刀棒出來拿我,如同拿強盜嗎?
14:49 我天天教訓人,同你們在殿裡,你們並沒有拿我。但這事成就,為要應驗經上的話。」
14:50 門徒都離開他,逃走了。
14:51 有一個少年人,赤身披著一塊麻布,跟隨耶穌,眾人就捉拿他。
14:52 他卻丟了麻布,赤身逃走了。
43 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.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” 50 Then everyone deserted him and fled.
51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.

主耶穌最後照上帝的旨意,將自己交在人的手中,讓猶大來出賣祂,讓祭司長來逮捕祂,勇敢的面對死亡!
我們常常因為害怕不敢面對死亡,但是主耶穌卻因為「兒女既同有血肉之體,他也照樣親自成了血肉之體,特要藉著死敗壞那掌死權的,就是魔鬼,並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人。他並不救拔天使,乃是救拔亞伯拉罕的後裔。」(希伯來書2:14-16)
你害怕死亡嗎?死亡真的能征服一切嗎?不!死亡已經被基督打敗了!讓我們與基督一同唱凱歌吧!
