Matthew 26:56 56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. Scriptures of the prophets... The writings of the prophets, for that is the meaning of the word scriptures. He alludes to those parts of the prophetic writings which foretold his sufferings and death. Then all the disciples... Overcome with fear when they saw their Master actually taken alarmed with the terrific appearance of armed men and torches in a dark night, and forgetting their promises not to forsake him, they all left their Savior to go alone to trial and to death! In this, Jesus was willing to go with them, but did not enjoy being treated as a criminal. He said, if you wanted to arrest me, I was in your temple every day, why didnt you take me then? Of course, Jesus knew why they did not take Him. It would not have filled the Scriptures of Him being the Lamb. Jesus must be killed at Passover time. He must be buried and rise again on first fruits.
