Peter belonged to a sect of Jews called, Zealots.  They all carried small 
swords as their everyday routine.  It served a purpose at Jesus' arrest.  When 
Peter cut off the servant's ear, it was a mistake...he MEANT to cut off his 
WHOLE HEAD!  But, Jesus undid the damage and taught us that those who live by the 
sword die by the sword.   Therein is the lesson for the kids.  Also, don't you 
think Jesus knew Peter was "packing"?  He knew that Peter was who he was and 
still chose him.  You see, after the betrayal Jesus knew he'd do the right 
thing.  He repented.  Powerful word, huh?  And we are blessed today partly 
because Jesus chose him despite his temper  impetuousness and impatience.  Sound 
familiar?.
