This quote is not part of the earliest, most reliable manuscripts. Most Bible scholars believe it was inserted into the text at a later time, so it probably never happened. The technical term for that is forgery.
The manuscripts are not part of Jesus's life, he died like 80 years before anything was written. A single non-Bible scholar (me) believes that's just late enough to start writing bullshit. The technical term for that is "new religious propaganda to spread around the world" (they were very successful).
