Bible Trivia: Did Jesus approve of self-defense?
.
Answer: He advised the disciples to buy a sword. Here the Greek word is maxairan, which is a small dagger for protection against robbers and wild animals. This was a normal tool for a traveler in that time. A plain reading of the passage seems to indicate that Jesus approved of self-defense.
Luke 22:36
