Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
