Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵¹ And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. ⁵² Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword. ⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now ask my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
