While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people... Jesus said to Judas, Do what you came for, friend. Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.Put your sword back in its place, Jesus said to him, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."

Jesus should have miracled a Thompson for each member of his crew and took care of business so to speak. His ass would not have ended up up on the cross if he had.
Would have made the bible much more interesting tto!
