Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

The command "Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Matthew 26:52) by Jesus implies that violence begets violence. It suggests that engaging in violence tends to perpetuate a cycle of violence and retaliation. He is trying to warn about the destructive consequences of relying on the sword or violence as a means of resolving conflicts.
