Matthew 26:51-53

51And behold, 1one of those who were with Jesus 2reached and drew his 3sword, and struck the 4slave of the high priest and 5cut off his ear.

52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for 6all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword.

53Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve 78legions of 9angels?
