Matthew 26:51-54 And behold, one of those who was with Jesus stretched out his hand and pulled his sword, and struck the bondservant of the high-priest, and took off his ear.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵¹ And behold, one of those who was with Jesus stretched out his hand and pulled his sword, and struck the bondservant of the high-priest, and took off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus says to him, Return your sword into its place; for all those who take up the sword will be perishing with the sword. ⁵³ Or do you think that I am not able now to plead with my Father and he will not stand beside me with more than twelve legions of messengers? ⁵⁴ Therefore how might the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it is essential to happen as thus?
