Matthew 26:52-56

Matthew 26:52-56 TPT

Jesus said to him, “Put your dagger away. For all those who embrace violence will die by violence. Don’t you realize that I could ask my heavenly Father for angels to come at any time to deliver me? And instantly he would answer me by sending more than twelve legions of angels to come and protect us. But that would thwart the prophetic plan of God. For it has been written that it would happen this way.” Then Jesus turned to the mob and said, “Why would you arrest me with swords and clubs as though I were an outlaw? Day after day I sat in the temple courts with you, teaching the people, yet you didn’t arrest me. But all of this fulfills the prophecies of the Scriptures.” At that point all of his disciples ran away and abandoned him.
