Luke 22:35-38
Modern English Version
Purse, Bag, and Sword
35 Then He said to them, “When I sent you without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
They said, “Nothing.”
36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me, ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’[a] Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment.”
38 They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
He said to them, “It is enough.”

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.”
