Then everyone deserted Him and fled
Then
The word "then" serves as a conjunction that connects the events leading up to this moment. It indicates a sequence of actions, following Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. This moment is pivotal, as it marks the fulfillment of Jesus' prediction that His disciples would abandon Him (Mark 14:27). The use of "then" underscores the immediacy and inevitability of the disciples' actions, highlighting the prophetic nature of Jesus' words.

everyone
The term "everyone" is inclusive, signifying that all of Jesus' disciples, without exception, abandoned Him. This collective desertion fulfills the prophecy from Zechariah 13:7, "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." It emphasizes the human frailty and fear that overcame the disciples, despite their earlier declarations of loyalty. This moment serves as a poignant reminder of the weakness inherent in human nature and the need for divine strength.

deserted
The word "deserted" comes from the Greek "aphentes," which means to leave or forsake. This term conveys a sense of abandonment and betrayal, as the disciples leave Jesus in His hour of need. The gravity of this action is profound, as it reflects the disciples' failure to stand by their Lord, despite their close relationship and previous commitments. This desertion is a stark contrast to the faithfulness of Jesus, who remains steadfast in His mission.

Him
"Him" refers to Jesus Christ, the central figure of the Gospel. This pronoun personalizes the narrative, drawing attention to the relational aspect of the disciples' abandonment. Jesus, who had taught, guided, and loved His disciples, is now left alone. This moment highlights the loneliness and isolation that Jesus experiences as He faces the path to the cross, underscoring His role as the suffering servant prophesied in Isaiah 53.

and fled
The phrase "and fled" indicates a hasty and fearful retreat. The Greek word "ephygon" suggests a sense of urgency and panic. This reaction is driven by fear of association with Jesus, who is now seen as a criminal by the authorities. The disciples' flight is a natural human response to danger, yet it also serves as a spiritual lesson on the cost of discipleship and the challenge of remaining faithful under persecution. This moment foreshadows the eventual transformation of the disciples, who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will later stand boldly for their faith.

Verse 50. - And they all left him, and fled. But soon afterwards two of them, Peter and John, took courage, and followed him to the house of the high priest.
