Matthew 26:54-56

English Standard Version

^54 (A)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day ^(B)I sat in the temple ^(C)teaching, and you did not seize me. ⁵⁶ But ^(D)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” ^(E)Then all the disciples left him and fled.
