Chapter
XXVII.—Questions and Answers.
Then Peter: “Neither He who sent me
did amiss in sending a sword upon the earth, nor do I act contrary to
Him in asking peace of the hearers. But you both unskilfully and
rashly find fault with what you do not understand: for you have
heard that the Master came not to send peace on earth; but that He also
said, ‘Blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the
very sons of God,’620
you have not
heard. Wherefore my sentiments are not different from those of
the Master when I recommend peace, to the keepers of which He assigned
blessedness.” Then Simon said: “In your desire
to answer for your Master, O Peter, you have brought a much more
serious charge against him, if he himself came not to make peace, yet
enjoined upon others to keep it. Where, then, is the consistency
of that other saying of his, ‘it is enough for the disciple that
he be as his master?’”621
