What does the Bible say about the sovereignty of God in Christ's arrest?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ's arrest was according to God's sovereign purpose, as seen in Mark 14:49.

The sovereignty of God is evident in the account of Christ's arrest, as demonstrated in Mark 14:49, where Jesus states, 'But the scriptures must be fulfilled.' This emphasizes that every event surrounding His betrayal and arrest was orchestrated by God’s will. Even Judas's actions were foreordained by God, fulfilling the necessary prophecies concerning the Messiah’s suffering and sacrifice. This underscores that God's active sovereignty governs all human actions, even those born of malice, such as the betrayal of Christ.
