In what context--i.e. what part of the bible--do you mean "the sword"? Do you mean "live by the sword die by the sword," or "I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Either way, I think you'll have a hard time arguing that Christ was in favour of capital punishment. That was more the Romans' thing.
