Luke 22:36 and 38. This of course is a command and is ignored by preachers and laymen. They will take out of context a little later that night when Peter chops off the servants ear with that same sword and Jesus says (paraphrase) if you live by the sword you will die by it). He had just commanded them earlier to get a sword he was not contradicting himself but saying I came into the world for this and if you try to stop it you will die.
Luke 22:36, Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets, this that Jesus asked them to do was in a prophecy given to Isaiah 53:12. In Luke 22:37-38, He tells them why and the swords they had would be enough, then in verse 52, we see they came with swords and spears as against a thief. Jesus was also put on the cross between two thieves, Matthew 27:38. Even the least of the prophecies not obvious, Jesus fulfilled them all.

May this be enough to answer your question.
