Matthew 26:54-56

Living Bible

⁵⁴ But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what is happening now?” ⁵⁵ Then Jesus spoke to the crowd. “Am I some dangerous criminal,” he asked, “that you had to arm yourselves with swords and clubs before you could arrest me? I was with you teaching daily in the Temple and you didn’t stop me then. ⁵⁶ But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.”

At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
