'Put your sword back in its place,' Jesus said to him, 'for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?' (NIVUK)

Peter, who had declared his intention to die with Jesus if necessary (a foolish statement made more with bravado than true courage) had a sword; one of two that they took with them (Luke 22:38).
