Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts
This phrase highlights the consistent and public nature of Jesus' ministry. The Greek word for "every day" (καθ' ἡμέραν) emphasizes the regularity and openness of His teaching. Jesus was not hiding His message; He was openly sharing it in the most public and sacred space available, the "temple courts" (ἱερῷ). The temple was the center of Jewish religious life, and Jesus' presence there underscores His authority and the fulfillment of His role as a teacher and prophet. Historically, the temple courts were bustling with activity, making Jesus' teachings accessible to all who came to worship.

and you did not arrest Me
This phrase points to the inaction of the religious leaders despite having ample opportunity to arrest Jesus. The Greek verb for "arrest" (συλλαμβάνω) implies a forceful taking or seizing. The leaders' failure to act during Jesus' public teachings suggests their fear of the people and their recognition of Jesus' popularity and authority. This inaction also fulfills the divine timing of events leading to the crucifixion, as Jesus' arrest would occur according to God's sovereign plan, not human scheming.

But this has happened
The phrase "this has happened" (ἀλλ' ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν) indicates the unfolding of events according to divine prophecy. The Greek conjunction "ἀλλ'" (but) introduces a contrast between human intentions and divine purposes. The events leading to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion were not random but orchestrated to fulfill God's redemptive plan. This highlights the sovereignty of God in the midst of human actions, reassuring believers that God's purposes prevail even in apparent chaos.

so that the Scriptures would be fulfilled
This phrase underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. The Greek word for "fulfilled" (πληρωθῶσιν) conveys the idea of bringing to completion or realization. Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion were foretold in the Scriptures, affirming His identity as the promised Messiah. This fulfillment of prophecy serves as a testament to the reliability and divine inspiration of Scripture, encouraging believers to trust in God's Word and His promises. The phrase also connects Jesus' mission to the broader narrative of salvation history, demonstrating that His life and work were the culmination of God's redemptive plan for humanity.

(49) Ye took me not.--Better, ye seized Me not, or, ye laid no hold on Me.

Verse 49. - But this is done that the Scriptures might be fulfilled. This, as it stands in the original, is an incomplete sentence; in St. Matthew (Matthew 26:56) the sentence occurs in its complete form. In both cases it has been questioned whether the words are those of our Lord, or whether they are the comment of the evangelist. On the whole, it would seem more probable that they are our Lord's words, which seem almost required to conclude what he had said before.
