Popis:	Though most readers of the Gospel of Luke are familiar with Jesus’s well-known statement about “taking up a sword” (Luke 22:49), Gospel also references other sword-violence text segments. The first reference occurs at Jesus’s birth (Luke 2:34, 35), and the last ends with Jesus’s arrest (Luke 22:47–53). This expository article focuses upon reading Luke’s sword-violence passages with a wholistic lens that includes the theological, cultural, and social cues within the text. In this integrated reading approach, one captures the Lukan depiction of various dimensions of violence via a sword and the implicit and explicit challenge to resist sword-violence as the way for followers of Jesus.
