MATTHEW 26:55 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.”
At that hour Jesus said to the crowds: have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. The challenge to the arresting crowd: the daily temple teaching that they observed and did not act on contrasts with the nighttime arrest by armed crowd. The covert arrest-by-night of one who has been publicly teaching is the exposure of the conspiracy's political calculation.
