Pastor David Whitney, Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Baltimore, MD, made this statement on PBS's "Religion and Ethics Newsweekly," without citing a scriptural source. I looked in my Strong's Concordance and can't find it. As a Christian, it is important to me to know what the Bible says rather than accepting another's word about God's Word.

Yes it is in there. It frustrates me when professed Christians know their book less well than those who don't believe in it. Maybe that is something we should all think about. But keep reading. You're looking for Luke 22:36. See also Matt 10: 34-36.

No, Jesus never said that.
You can perform a search in several different version of the Bible on www.biblegateway.com.
Awww, I feel like an idiot. Professor Longhair is correct.

Yes it is:Luke 22:36
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

I think it's "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword" too funny

Well, I am pretty sure he didn't tell anyone to steal one.
