Luke 22:35-40

Good News Translation

Purse, Bag, and Sword

^35 (A)Then Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out that time without purse, bag, or shoes, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they answered.

³⁶ “But now,” Jesus said, “whoever has a purse or a bag must take it; and whoever does not have a sword must sell his coat and buy one. ^37 (B)For I tell you that the scripture which says, ‘He shared the fate of criminals,’ must come true about me, because what was written about me is coming true.”

³⁸ The disciples said, “Look! Here are two swords, Lord!”

“That is enough!”^[a] he replied.
