Matthew 26:54-56

International Children’s Bible

⁵⁴ But this thing must happen this way so that it will be as the Scriptures say.”

⁵⁵ Then Jesus said to the crowd, “You came to get me with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal. Every day I sat in the Temple teaching. You did not arrest me there. ⁵⁶ But all these things have happened so that it will be as the prophets wrote.” Then all of Jesus’ followers left him and ran away.
