How Did The Temple Guard Led Jesus?

“Think not that I can pray to my Father, and that he would not send to me

more than twelve legions of angels?”

Jesus then touched the ear of Malchus, and healed him.

And the Temple Guard led Jesus away.

In that same hour, said Jesus to chief priests and the Pharisees:

“You come to me as against a thief in the night with swords and staves to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you never laid a hand on me.”

Then all the disciples fled from Jesus.

And the Temple Guard led Jesus away to the house of Annas– for he was the father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the Pharisees, Scribes and the Elders were assembled.
