You would be right if Jesus controlled the charges, but he did not. But in other cases he ran from trouble as he knew it was not time for him to be charged. He knew this was the time to be charged and knew it had to take place so did not try and escape. Jesus did not tell him to put his sword away simply because he had to be delivered up for trial but the sword is never to be taken up in any conflict. The soldier that was struck, may, at some time repent and follow Christ. It was different to the times when the Jews were God's people. Back then you were born a Jew, at Jesus' time, everyone could be a Jew if they just followed the teachings of Christ. So if one kills a person, even a strict and violent non-believer, that person may well have changed their stand in the future. Look at Paul; He even hunted the Christians thinking he was doing sacred service.

Anyway, back on track. In regard to prophecy, God does not say he knows what the future will bring...he says I WILL CAUSE IT TO HAPPEN.

So Jesus making sure it happens is exactly what is supposed to happen. When we try and interfere in a manner that goes against his plan, he makes sure we do not succeed. When we interfere in a way that fulfills his plan, he makes sure we succeed.

Remember, he does not say he knows what will happen, he makes it happen.
