"Sword and Plate" - The phrase "Mark 13:21," often heard during the Gospel of Mark, is a popular saying that means someone who prides themselves on being able to handle both their weapon and their armor (both swords and shields). It's a humorous reference to Jesus' ability to carry out multiple tasks in one day. Example Sentence: "Mark 13:21 - A man who can wield both the sword and his shield is said to have great power!"
