Then Jesus said to him: "Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword."
4) Prays to God from the heart: Matthew 6:9-14--"YOU must pray, then, this way: "'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. Give us today our bread for this day; and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.'"
5) Preaches about God's Kingdom: Matthew 24:14--"And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."
