Jesus didn’t finish his talk. <br />His disciple, Judas came back. <br />This time, he wasn't alone. <br />With him, came armed men. <br /> <br />A signal, the traitor had given, <br />“The man, I kiss, is the one, <br />You’re searching for to arrest. <br />Take him under proper escort.” <br /> <br />Judas went up to Jesus, <br />And gave him a kiss. <br />The waiting soldiers came. <br />At once, they arrested him. <br /> <br />With his sword, Peter <br />Cut off a slave’s ear. <br />Jesus chided his hasty action <br />And put the ear in its position. <br /> <br />The soldiers took Jesus, <br />To the High Priest’s house. <br />Peter went behind slowly. <br />The crowd followed closely. <br /> <br />Near a fire place, Peter sat. <br />A girl looked at him straight. <br />“He was with Jesus, ” she said. <br />“I don’t know him, ” Peter denied. <br /> <br />Again a man noticed Peter <br />He said, “One of them, you’re.” <br />“Man, I’m not.” Peter said. <br />Second time, he denied. <br /> <br />After an hour, another man <br />Insisted, “No doubt, this man <br />Was with Jesus, as a Galilean.” <br />Peter denied once again. <br /> <br />Immediately after the third, <br />From roof top, a cock crowed. <br />Jesus gave him a meaningful smile. <br />Peter wept bitterly for a while.<br /><br />Simple Simon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/j50-the-arrest-of-jesus/
