Matthew 26:51-55 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

51. At that moment one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his ear.

52. Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

53. Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions of angels?

54. How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way? ”

55. At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, to capture Me? Every day I used to sit, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me.
