I was daily with you in the temple,…. That is, for several days past; ever since he made his public entry into Jerusalem:
teaching; the people, in a public manner:
and ye took me not; did not attempt to lay hands on him, seize him, and carry him away; which he signifies might have been easily done; [See comments on Mt 26:55].
But the Scriptures must be fulfilled: which spoke of the betraying him by Judas; and of their taking him in this private and secret manner; and of the flight of the disciples from him next mentioned;
[See comments on Mt 26:56].
