Matthew

Matthew 26:53–56

⁵³Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

⁵⁵At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts,^h and you did not arrest Me. ⁵⁶But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.”

Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
