Matthew 26:54

Read in context

Matthew 26:52–56 · Berean Standard Bible

52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53 Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

56 But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
