This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 26:52. Σου τὴν μάχαιραν, THY sword) most foreign to MY cause.-τοπον, place) The sword, when out of the scabbard, is not in its place, except when it ministers to the wrath of God.-λαβόντες, they who take) When God does not give it them.-ἐν μαχαίρᾳ, by the sword) Thus the LXX. use ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἀποθνήσκειν (to die by the sword); 2Ch 23:14, and Jer 21:9.-ἀποθανοῦνται, shall die) This word implies a punishment in kind.
