When the church was so ticked with Jesus as He spoke the truth they took Him to the edge of a cliff and were ready to throw Him off and stone Him to death and He said, sorry folks, it's not my time and walked away. (Sherrill's paraphrase)
Then when it was His time He stopped Peter from fighting by healing the soldier Peter had hurt and saying to Peter "if you live by the sword you die by the sword"
Jesus is modeling what Zerubbabel had taught years before
"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:
'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
