What did Jesus say about swords?

Jesus gave seemingly contradictory statements about swords: telling disciples to "sell your cloak and buy one" (Luke 22:36) for difficult times, but later telling Peter to put his sword away, declaring, "all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52) and explaining his mission wasn't to bring physical peace but a "sword" of division (Matthew 10:34). These passages suggest the "sword" could mean literal self-defense for harsh journeys, a spiritual weapon (Word of God), or the conflict that arises from following Him, not violent aggression for His kingdom.
