Matthew has a quote about selling clothes to buy swords.
It's in Luke. Jesus tells his disciples that if they don't have a sword to sell their cloak and buy one. They say that they have two swords and Jesus says that's good enough.
Then, when the priests and soldiers arrest Jesus, one of the disciples attacks a guard and cuts his ear. Jesus heals the ear and rebukes his disciple (presumably for attacking first rather than just defending his life), telling him that those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
