What does Matthew 26:55 mean?

Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, 'Am I some kind of criminal that you had to come out with swords and clubs to arrest me? I was sitting in the temple every day, teaching, and you never laid a hand on me.' Matthew 26:55 - Modern Text Bible

(Jesus points out the hypocrisy and fear of those arresting him, since he was always accessible and peaceful.)
