52 but Jesus said to him, put up your sword in its place: for all that take to the sword, shall perish by the sword.
53 do you think my father, if I should now desire it of him, would not instantly send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 but how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that thus it must happen?

57 And they that had apprehended Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the Scribes and the senators were assembled.
58 but Peter followed him at a distance to the high priest's palace, and going in, he sat with the officers to see the event.
59 Now the chief priests, the senators and the whole council, endeavour'd to get false evidence against Jesus, that he might be condemn'd to die.
