Matthew 26:51-54 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁵¹At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

          52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
          53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
          54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
