Matthew 26:52
Douay-Rheims
Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Hilary of Poitiers
But all who use the sword do not perish by the sword; of those who have used the sword either judicially, or in self-defence against robbers, fever or accident carries off the greater part. Though if according to this every one who uses the sword shall perish by the sword, justly was the sword now drawn against those who were using the same for the promotion of crime.
