God's Plan in Chaos
Commentators stress that Jesus' words, "that the scriptures... might be fulfilled," reveal a profound truth: His arrest was not a tragic accident but the unfolding of God's sovereign plan. Scholars like John Calvin explain that even the evil actions of His enemies were being directed by God's providence to accomplish salvation. This shows that even in the darkest moments of chaos and betrayal, God is in control, working out His ultimate purpose.
