Matthew 26:54-56

New Matthew Bible

⁵⁴ But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled? For this is how it must be.

⁵⁵ At the same time Jesus said to the throng, You have come out as if against a thief, with swords and clubs to take me. I sat daily teaching in the temple among you, and you did not take me. ⁵⁶ All this was done so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.
