Matthew 26:53-55

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵³ Do you think that I cannot talk to my Father, and he would send me right now more than twelve armies of angels?

⁵⁴ But then, how would God's word come true? The holy writings say that this is the way it must be.'

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.
