Commentary
Commentary on Matthew 26:53
Theological / DevotionalPray to my Father. Jesus relies on the assurance of His Father’s love and care brought to Him by the angel from heaven (see Luke 22:43). It is by His own choice that Jesus permits Himself to be taken. He is not helpless; He does not have to go through this bitter experience unless He chooses to do so.
Twelve legions. For comment on the Roman legion see on Mark 5:9.
