The night He was arrested, when His disciples tried to protect Him with physical force, Jesus said, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?"(Matthew 26:52, 53 NKJV)
While it is true Jesus made the statement in Matthew 26:53 that twelve legions of angels could be made available to Him, let's not overlook what He said before this ... "think that I cannot pray to My Father, and HE will provide". It seems that the command would have come from God the Father, not God the Son (Jesus).
Psalm 8:4, 5 & Hebrews 2:6, 7, says that man is created a little lower than the angels. Hebrews 2:9 makes it clear that Jesus was sent to the earth and held a position lower than angels (He became man). Jesus as God incarnate would have to obey the laws that governed men. Though He was God in the flesh, He could not operate as God. So ... nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus can command legions of angels.
