I'm not sure what you are getting at with the transgressors part. That was simply fulfillment of old testament prophecy of Jesus.
This scripture is often very misunderstood. It is not telling his followers today to take up swords and defend themselves. He says right in that verse that the purpose of them buying those swords is so that Jesus would be accused of a crime and taken into custody, fulfilling prophecy. Immediately following this scene, we see peter draw his sword and Jesus tells him to put it away, saying "For all who live by the sword will die by the sword."
Love your enemies, turn the other cheek, do harm to no man, do not return evil with evil.
A sparrow does not die without gods consent, and he cares for you much more than a sparrow. No harm will come to you but that which god will allow. But we ought to rejoice when harm comes to is, because we are buying treasure in heaven. Blessed are those who are persecuted for Jesus' names sake.
