Matthew 26:55-57

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵⁵ At that same time Jesus said to the people, `Have you come to take me with swords and sticks as you would a man who steals? Every day I sat with you in the temple and taught. But you did not try to catch me then.

⁵⁶ All this happened so that what the prophets said in the holy writings would come true.' Then all the disciples left Jesus and ran away.

⁵⁷ The men who caught Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest. The scribes and the leaders had met at his house.
