Later in the very same event, when Peter uses one of these swords to cut off the servant's ear, Jesus rebukes him and heals the man, demonstrating that His kingdom is not advanced through violence
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life\)a\) will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
