was actually his tongue. He didn't mean a literal sword.In revelations Jesus said he had a 2 edged sword in his mouth. Jesus often spoke in parables so there are some people who have a hard time understanding what he was talking about. Jesus told Peter to put his sword away in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus commanded his disciples to teach the bible line upon line, and precept upon precept. Not to take a simple verse or two, and draw a conclusion on any subject.
