    Jesus literally set himself up… So no amount of weapons would have saved him.

      Jesus told his disciples to strap up and even sell their possessions if they couldn’t afford to.

      Then he said “hol up a minute” when Peter was about to throw down on his behalf.

      Which seems a bit forced in terms of messianic prophecy.

      He’s like the only dude to claim to be Jesus that actually pulled it off, but even then most weren’t convinced. It’d make sense he’d lean hard into the whole having to be killed part.
