51 And suddenly, aone of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, afor all who take the sword will1 perish by the sword.
53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with amore than twelve legions of angels?
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.
56 But all this was done that the aScriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then ball the disciples forsook Him and fled.
