Matthew 26:52-54

The Voice

Jesus: ⁵² Put your sword back. People who live by the sword die by the sword. ⁵³ Surely you realize that if I called on My Father, He would send 12 legions of messengers to rescue Me. ⁵⁴ But if I were to do that, I would be thwarting the scriptural story, wouldn’t I? And we must allow the story of God’s kingdom to unfold.
