It gives the the RESPONSIBILITY to not only DEFEND OURSELVES, but also our families. And what YOU MISSED is that in Matt. 26, Peter was DEFENDING JESUS, and Jesus didn't need defending, it was GOD's purpose for Jesus to be ARRESTED and CRUCIFIED. Thus in Luke 22:36 we find the LAST INSTRUCTIONS to the Disciples (and thereby the church) before going to the Garden.
Or you can throw out Luke 22:36 because it offends your personal sensibilities. And it won't be the FIRST time you've disregarded Scripture, nor, I suspect, the last.
