Anonymous Unregistered	Quote Pilgrim said: I believe that yes indeed, the Lord Christ was telling His disciples to arm themselves with a sword for the purpose of protection... I agree that these are literal swords and that Peter used one of them to protect Jesus and the group from an illegal arrest at night. But how can we say "for the purpose of protection" when that very use brings rebuke to Peter from Jesus? Since the text does not tell us what the 'purpose' of these swords is, ISTM that we are simply making guesses based on our preconceived ideas (me included). Brent "Dig deep into God's Word"
