Legions of Angels
Did you know that Jesus of Nazareth had the power to summon legions of angels? In the book of Matthew 26:53, during his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus says to them:
Do you think that I cannot pray to my Father, and that he would not give me more than twelve legions of angels?
In ancient Rome a legion is equivalent to 6,000 men, so we would be talking about Jesus being able to invoke a total of 72,000 angels, a whole heavenly battalion. We must know that a single angel is capable of defeating an entire people, we can see this in Isaiah 37:36. However, he does not seem to want to invoke them, because in that way, the scriptures would not be fulfilled according to the section of Matthew 26:54.
