Would you arrest someone that who you just saw heal a man`s ear- when the ear was cut off and healed right before your eyes?
I wouldn`t but I wouln`t be a soldier either. Although Jesus was mistakenly seen as a threat on the political level- establishing a new kingdom - but it`s also true that they were ven more scared by his power and that made them ven more determined to stop him. How many saints have been `handcuffed` before being recognised?

Jesus said: Pray that you don`t enter into temptation. What is temptation?
It`s a pull in the wrong direction - you feel you are pulled under by the devil that points towards one action which is wrong and might not seem so. Praying calms the emotions and gives you clarity and Jesus` hand frees you from the hand of the devil. It pulls you away from the door that would lead you in a harmful - to others and self - action. This is how prayer helps me.

Pray that you don`t enter into temptation.
Pray that you don`t enter into temptation. Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation. Not once but twice he invites them to pray not to enter into temptation. A call to aware careful walking - knowing where we are placing our steps and what it`s more likely to make us stumble. Spiritual eyes fully open. Steer away from the evil one learn to detect his approaching not waiting till he`s too close or already inside us. Calmness of the soul that makes us stronger and more efficient defenders of our inner castle.

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him. When he was at the place, he said to them, "Pray that you don't enter into temptation."
He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief, and said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
