The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: MAT 26:49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
kissed him.
MAT 26:50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
MAT 26:51 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.
MAT 26:52 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.
MAT 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
