Matthew 26:53
Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
