Matthew 26:51-54

New American Standard Bible

⁵¹ And behold, ^(A)one of those who were with Jesus ^[a]reached and drew his ^(B)sword, and struck the ^(C)slave of the high priest and ^[b]cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for ^(D)all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword. ⁵³ Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve ^[c](E)legions of ^(F)angels? ⁵⁴ How then would ^(G)the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
