183:3.3 It had been the [[hope]] of the [[betrayer]] that he could, after [[leading]] the guards to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane], simply point [[Jesus]] out to the [[soldiers]], or at most carry out the [[promise]] to [[greet]] him with a [[kiss]], and then quickly retire from the scene. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] greatly [[feared]] that [[the apostles]] would all be present, and that they would [[concentrate]] their [[attack]] upon him in [[retribution]] for his [[daring]] to betray their beloved [[teacher]]. But when [[the Master]] [[greeted]] him as a [[betrayer]], he was so [[confused]] that he made no attempt to flee.

183:3.4 [[Jesus]] made one last [[effort]] to save [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] from [[actually]] [[betraying]] him in that, before the [[traitor]] could reach him, he stepped to one side and, addressing the foremost [[soldier]] on the left, the captain of the [[Romans]], said, " Whom do you seek? " The captain answered, " [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. " Then [[Jesus]] stepped up [[immediately]] in front of the officer and, standing there in the [[calm]] [[majesty]] of the [[God]] of all [[Nebadon|this creation]], said, " I am he. " Many of this [[armed]] band had heard [[Jesus]] [[teach]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], others had [[learned]] about his mighty [[works]], and when they heard him thus [[boldly]] [[announce]] his [[identity]], those in the front ranks fell suddenly backward. They were overcome with [[surprise]] at his [[calm]] and [[majestic]] [[announcement]] of [[identity]]. There was, therefore, no need for [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] to go on with his [[plan]] of [[betrayal]]. [[The Master]] had [[boldly]] [[revealed]] himself to his [[enemies]], and they could have taken him without [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]'s [[assistance]]. But the [[traitor]] had to do something to [[account]] for his [[presence]] with this armed band, and besides, he wanted to make a show of carrying out his [[part]] of the [[betrayal]] [[Agreement|bargain]] with the rulers of the [[Jews]] in order to be eligible for the great reward and [[honors]] which he [[believed]] would be heaped upon him in [[compensation]] for his [[promise]] to deliver [[Jesus]] into their hands.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_18]

183:3.5 As the guards rallied from their first faltering at the [[sight]] of [[Jesus]] and at the [[sound]] of his unusual [[voice]], and as [[the apostles]] and [[disciples]] drew nearer, [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] stepped up to [[Jesus]] and, placing a [[kiss]] upon his brow, said, " Hail, Master and Teacher. " And as [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] thus [[embraced]] his Master, [[Jesus]] said, " [[Friend]], is it not enough to do this!

183:3.6 [[The apostles]] and [[disciples]] were [[literally]] stunned by what they saw. For a [[moment]] no one moved. Then [[Jesus]], disengaging himself from the [[traitorous]] [[embrace]] of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]], stepped up to the guards and [[soldiers]] and again asked, " Whom do you seek? " And again the captain said, " [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. " And again answered [[Jesus]]: " I have told you that I am he. If, therefore, you seek me, let these others go their way.

183:3.7 [[Jesus]] was ready to go back to [[Jerusalem]] with the guards, and the captain of the [[soldiers]] was altogether willing to allow the [[three]] [[apostles]] and their [[associates]] to go their way in [[peace]]. But before they were able to get started, as [[Jesus]] stood there awaiting the captain's orders, one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malchus Malchus], the Syrian bodyguard of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest], stepped up to [[Jesus]] and made ready to bind his hands behind his back, although the Roman captain had not directed that [[Jesus]] should be thus bound. When [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and his [[associates]] saw their Master being subjected to this indignity, they were no longer able to restrain themselves. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] drew his [[sword]] and with the others rushed forward to smite [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malchus Malchus]. But before the [[soldiers]] could come to the [[defense]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest]'s [[servant]], [[Jesus]] raised a [[forbidding]] hand to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and, [[speaking]] sternly, said: " [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], put up your [[sword]]. They who take the sword shall perish by the [[sword]]. Do you not [[understand]] that it is [[the Father]]'s will that I drink this cup? And do you not further know that I could even now command more than [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_38#38:6._SERAPHIC_ORGANIZATION twelve legions of angels and their associates], who would deliver me from the hands of these few men?

183:3.8 While [[Jesus]] thus [[effectively]] put a stop to this show of [[physical]] [[resistance]] by his followers, it was enough to arouse the [[fear]] of the captain of the guards, who now, with the help of his [[soldiers]], laid heavy hands on [[Jesus]] and quickly bound him. And as they tied his hands with heavy cords, [[Jesus]] said to them: " Why do you come out against me with [[swords]] and with staves as if to seize a [[Crime|robber]]? I was daily with you in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], publicly teaching the people, and you made no [[effort]] to take me.

183:3.9 When [[Jesus]] had been bound, the captain, [[fearing]] that the followers of [[the Master]] might attempt to [[rescue]] him, gave orders that they be seized; but the [[soldiers]] were not quick enough since, having overheard the captain's orders to [[arrest]] them, [[Jesus]]' followers fled in haste back into the ravine. All this time [[John Mark]] had remained [[secluded]] in the near-by [[Shelter|shed]]. When the guards started back to [[Jerusalem]] with [[Jesus]], [[John Mark]] attempted to steal out of the shed in order to catch up with the fleeing [[apostles]] and [[disciples]]; but just as he emerged, one of the last of the returning [[soldiers]] who had pursued the fleeing [[disciples]] was passing near and, seeing this [[young man]] in his linen coat, gave chase, almost overtaking him. In [[fact]], the [[soldier]] got near enough to [[John Mark|John]] to lay hold upon his coat, but the [[young man]] freed himself from the [[garment]], [[escaping]] naked while the [[soldier]] held the empty coat.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter_14] [[John Mark]] made his way in all haste to [[David Zebedee]] on the upper trail. When he had told [[David Zebedee|David]] what had happened, they both hastened back to the tents of the [[sleeping]] [[apostles]] and informed all eight of [[the Master]]'s [[betrayal]] and [[arrest]].

183:3.10 At about the time the eight [[apostles]] were being [[awakened]], those who had fled up the ravine were returning, and they all gathered together near the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_press olive press] to [[debate]] what should be done. In the meantime, [[Simon Peter]] and [[John Zebedee]], who had hidden among the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_tree olive trees], had already gone on after the mob of [[soldiers]], guards, and servants, who were now [[leading]] [[Jesus]] back to [[Jerusalem]] as they would have led a desperate [[criminal]]. [[John, the Apostle|John]] followed close behind the mob, but [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] followed afar off. After [[John Mark]]'s [[escape]] from the clutch of the [[soldier]], he provided himself with a cloak which he found in the tent of [[Simon Peter]] and [[John Zebedee]]. He [[suspected]] the guards were going to take [[Jesus]] to the [[home]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanhedrin_trial_of_Jesus Annas], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest] [[emeritus]]; so he skirted around through the olive orchards and was there ahead of the mob, hiding near the entrance to the gate of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest]'s [[palace]].
