 i've been trying to send this reply to kata Markan discussion but it keep 
bouncing back. 
 could it be so simple that it is the temple police (or some such guard) sent 
by the  priests and not the priests themselves who arrest Jesus, and that 
this 'crowd' did not necessarily know Jesus (or couldn't be trusted to pick 
up out of a crowd).  Thus, Judas makes the deal with the priests but it is 
carried out by  otherwise unidentified persons (one is called a 'servant' of 
the priest). or am i missing something else?
 
 what do you thi >>
=========
Yes.  I think you're missing the fact that immediately after the high 
priest's servant's ear is cut off we have Jesus apparently addressing the 
high priest.  (Mark 14:47) It  appears that at least one priest was there 
with his servant just as Jesus was seized, and furthermore it appears that 
that same priest was in the temple courtyard, with Jesus every day while he 
was teaching.  (Mark 14:49)


I'll forward your post to Kata Markan; I hope you don't mind.
