A variation on “Kill’em all, and let God sort’em out”.


“Kill’em all, and let God sort’em out” is adopted by the Marines and the Green Berets. It derives from “Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoset”, or “Kill them all. God will know His own.”.

This was a misunderstood reference to 2 Tim. 2:19 which in part reads, “The Lord knoweth them that are his”.

This comes from around 1210AD, when Pope Innocent III unleashed “orders of fire and sword” against heretics throughout Europe.

In this process there was a terrible massacre at the city Beziers, where it was thought that over 100,000 people were killed. After that city where taken, they had captured over 450 “heretics”, but many of them claimed to be good Catholics.

The quote is believed to be first used here, when they killed all the “heretics”. It did not matter if they killed good people, because if one led a godly life, God would know of it, and the reward would be eternal paradise anyway.

Extra info:

This was actually said by Arnaud-Armaury, the Abbot of Citeaux, the Papal Legate. Though his exact words are not known, the latin equivalent, “Neca ecos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet.” (“Kill them all, God will know His own.”) was recorded by a monk who was present at the time.

The Abbot had been asked by the military commander of the crusade, one Simon of Montfort, Earl of Leicester, how best to deal with the heretics. He complied readily, and so the crusade was carried out for twenty years.
