Matthew 26:52-62

52 Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will presently 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 said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staffs 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 they that 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 at a distance, to 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 testimony against Jesus, to put him to death;
60 But found none: and, though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, This [man] 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 to him, Answerest thou nothing, what [is it which] these testify against thee?
