Matthew 26:54-55

How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?” In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

World English Bible (WEB)

Open Daily Verse Read in context

Jesus meets betrayal and arrest with a steady submission to the Father's scriptural purposes.

Today's prayer

Jesus, give courage to obey when faithfulness is costly and misunderstood. Please help me distinguish surrender to God's will from passive acceptance of evil, fear, or another person's control.
