Christian Standard Bible
Be Ready for Trouble
35 He also said to them, “When I sent you out(A) without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Not a thing,” they said.
36 Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me: [a] And he was counted among the lawless.[b](B) Yes, what is written about me is coming to its fulfillment.”(C)
38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”
“That is enough!” he told them.

The Two Swords
35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?”[a] And they said, “Nothing.” 36 And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it,[b] and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was counted with the criminals.’[c] For indeed, what is written[d] about me is being fulfilled.”[e] 38 So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords!” And he said to them, “It is adequate.”
