These two verses compare the views of Jesus and Buddha on compassion.
Jesus
Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. (Matthew 26:52)
Buddha
Abandoning the taking of life, the ascetic Gautama dwells refraining from taking life, without stick or sword. (Digha Nikaya 1.1.8)
