48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him.

49And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
