Luke / Chapter 22 / V35-38

“Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” he replied. ”

Peter had one of them. When Peter, misreading the Mt. Olive arrest incident, drew his sword and wounded Malchus, the temple guard. But Jesus did not climb all over Peter like a sword-control fanatic. He just told Peter, "Ok, put your sidearm back in its holster," and fixed up the guard.
