Bingo! i had a chat recently with a member of my church and suggested that Peter was the first advocate for concealed carry. Of course, she looked at me with a dumbfounded look on her face.
I’m also under the impression that all men traveled with their own knife, it would be a primary eating utensil and everyday tool, and that even Jesus probably carried one for eating, even as a guest in some homes.
While not necessarily carried as a weapon, my impression is that in that era, Jesus very well could have carried a knife, if not him for some reason (like being Jesus), then all the other members of his party would have.
