Luke 22:51-53

The Message

⁵¹ Jesus said, “Let them be. Even in this.” Then, touching the servant’s ear, he healed him.

^52-53 Jesus spoke to those who had come—high priests, Temple police, religion leaders: “What is this, jumping me with swords and clubs as if I were a dangerous criminal? Day after day I’ve been with you in the Temple and you’ve not so much as lifted a hand against me. But do it your way—it’s a dark night, a dark hour.”
