When those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
In context
47While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came up to Jesus to kiss him, 48and Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49When those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus said, “Stop! No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
