-The ''' Arrest of Jesus''' refers to an episode in the [[Passion of Jesus]], according to the Gospels of Mark (14:32–52), Matthew (26:36-56), Luke (22:39-53), and John (18:3-12).
-==Overview==
-According to the earliest accounts, Jesus was "distressed and agitated." The situation was tense and difficult. Jesus did not go back to [[Bethany]] but decided to spend the night hiding  among the crowd camped on the [[Mount of Olives]]. [[Judas Iscariot]] guided the Temple Police to arrest him. There was a moment of confusion and according to Matthew and Luke, also an attempt to resistance by [[Peter]] who with a sword struck the hear of a servant of the High Priest. The Temple police however soon accomplished his goal; Jesus was arrested and the disciples "deserted him and fled".
-John offers a theological reinterpretation of the narrative, showing Jesus perfectly in control of the situation. It was not Judas who betrayed him; Jesus gave himself to the Temple police and the Roman soldiers who came to arrest him.
