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.
 

26:52 take the sword. Jesus’ message here to Peter (note John 18:10) is worth heeding. For defense and order, God has ordained the powers of government to bear “the sword” (Romans 13:1-4). His angels are well able to protect His people when it is His will. Note the following verse (also Psalm 34:7; 91:11).
