After the Last Supper, at Gethsemane. After they come to arrest him.
Mark 14:49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
Mark 14:49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
Mark 14:49 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there among you teaching every day. But these things are happening to fulfill what the Scriptures say about me.”
By day, I was before you in the temple teaching and, you didn't conquer me. Instead, in order that those writings should be fulfilled...
When we give up on beating people's idea, we try to beat them physically.
A different Greek word is translated as "took" and "arrest" in this verse but another word was translated that way in the the previous verse ( Mark 14:48). This one is a similar play on words. It means "to conquer" and "to seize." Jesus is saying that they could best him in teaching and, at the same time, could take him into custody.
The word translated as "with your" here actually means "before you" so the sense is that Jesus argued before them in the temple, putting them in a position of authority and they still could not conquer him.
The last clause here is left hanging, a subordinate clause without a main clause. That is lost in translation because the conjunction making it a subordinate clause is edited out in the translations. The effect in the Greek is one leaving the statement open for others to finish with their own descriptions of what is happening at the moment.
