Matthew 26:52-62

52 Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up again thy sword into his place, for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall at once give Me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
55 In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves to take Me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on Me.
56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.
57 And those who had laid hold on Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests and elders and all the council sought false witness against Jesus to put Him to death,
60 but found none. Yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 and said, "This fellow said, `I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"
62 And the high priest arose and said unto Him, "Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witnesses say against thee?"
