“When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, ‘Lord, shall we strike with the sword?’ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, ‘Permit even this.’ And He touched his ear and healed him.”
Luke 22:49-51
When Peter got angry in the Garden of Gethsemane:
He used the wrong weapon: a sword. Ephesians 6:12 says we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Peter, using that sword, made a miserable mess. Later, on the day of Pentecost, filled with the Holy Spirit, he used the two-edged sword of God’s Word, quick and powerful. Three thousand were not killed; they were made alive with the sword of the Spirit.
