And led him away--"In that hour," says Matthew (Mat 26:55-56), and probably now, on the way to judgment, when the crowds were pressing upon Him, "said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves, for to take Me"--expressive of the indignity which He felt to be thus done to Him--"I sat daily with you in the temple, and ye laid no hold on Me. But this" (adds Luk 22:53) "is your hour and the power of darkness." Matthew continues--"But all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled" (Mat 26:56) --thus fulfilling His prediction (Mar 14:27; Joh 16:32). JESUS BEFORE ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS--FALL OF PETER. (Joh 18:13-27) And led him away to Annas first--(See on Luk 3:2, and Mat 26:57). (Also see on Mar 14:53.)
