Matthew 26:51-54 King James Version (KJV)
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Matthew 26:51-54 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
51 And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear.
52 Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;
53 dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?
54 how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?'
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
51 We see in other gospels that this was Peter doing this. We often times act in the flesh during times we don’t have understanding.
52 He is referring to an actual sword here but there is also reference to scripture those who accept scripture but reject Jesus are judged by the same scripture they accept. Jesus would act in peace during this entire time but His disciples were going crazy.
53 Jesus still had power but was completely submissive to God’s will, we are to live according to His will sometimes we have power to do different but we are to follow him which means at times we don’t do what we can but let His will always happen.
54 This was to fulfill scripture this was what all scripture was pointing to.
