Amplified Bible

Matthew 26:51-54 Amplified Bible (AMP)

51. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword and, striking the body servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

52. Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. [Gen. 9:6.]

53. Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions [more than 80,000] of angels?

54. But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must come about this way?
