Matthew 26:47-75
Jesus said to Judas,"Do what you came for, friend."
Jesus concerned how the Scripture be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way.
Peter swore to them "I don't know the man" three time. It is the word Jesus had spoken: "You will disown me three times."
The moment passes, Jesus accepts the path of suffering as his Father's will.
And as the mob comes out to arrest him he is once more in command. He expresses only love for the traitor. When on of his followers draws his sword and cuts off the ear of the high priest's servant, Jesus arrests the violence.
He had come to fulfill the prophecies of scripture, says Matthew. And at this point all his followers desert him as he has known they would.
Why?
The traitor Judas call Jesus Rabbi instead of the Lord, Jesus called Judas friend. Jesus treated Judas with polite and gentle, he accepted this way be arrested, but resisted be got as a rebellion. Jesus attracted many crowd with him, but they are willing come to Jesus without any violence.
Jesus did to fulfill the Scripture says, his blood will be the blessing of many in the sins.
How?
Remember the grace and love Jesus shed his blood for us and for me.
