“They All Left Him…”

“They All Left Him…”

Blessings folk!

Jesus stopped the physical response to His arrest.
He fixed the damage done…healed the slave ear.

Next?

Mar 14:46-50
They laid hands on Him and seized Him.

But one of those who stood by drew his sword,
and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

And Jesus said to them,
Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

“Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me;
but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures
.”

And they all left Him and fled.

Jesus questioned Judas and the crowd.

Why were they treating Him as a robber?
Someone who would sneak in.
Someone who deceived.
Jesus was with them daily in the temple teaching.
They could have seized Him then.

Why now?
Why this way?

Jesus tells them why?
That the Scripture might be fulfilled…Ps. 22, Ps. 68, Is. 53, etc.

The last verse is interesting…”and they left Him and fled.”

Who?
The disciples.

They had boldly stated they would not deny Him.
Jesus told them they would.
Now, when they hear that what was occurring was fulfillment of Scripture, they fled.
Just as He said.

Even today, fulfillment of the Word causes some to fear and run.
Do not.
