51But Jesus responded, “No more of this!” And touching his ear, He healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal? 53Every day while I was with you in the temple complex, you never laid a hand on Me.

Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance. 55They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them. 56When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, “This man was with Him too.” 57But he denied it: “Woman, I don’t know Him!”

2nd Corinthians 10: 3For though we live in the body, we do not wage war in an unspiritual way,4since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5and every high-minded thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
