Luke 22:35-38 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 22:21-38

We have here Christ's discourse with his disciples after supper, much of which is new here; and in St. John's gospel we shall find other additions. We should take example from him to entertain and edify our family and friends with such discourse at table as is good and to the use of edifying, which may minister grace to the hearers; but especially after we have been at the Lord's table, by Christian conference to keep one another in a suitable frame. The matters Christ here discoursed of were... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 22:31-38

22:31-38,54-62 "Simon, Simon," Jesus said, "Look you, Satan has been allowed to have you that he may sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you that your faith may not wholly fail. And you--when you have turned again--strengthen your brothers." He said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death." "Peter," he said, "I tell you, the cock will not crow today before you have three times denied that you know me." And he said to them, "When I sent you out without... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:35

And he said unto them ,.... To the disciples, as the Persic version reads; not to Peter only, but to them all: when I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes ; without the necessaries of life, without proper accommodations for a journey, without provisions, or money, to buy any with: so ανευ βαλαντιου , "without a purse", is, by the Scholiast on Aristophanes F20 In Avibus, p. 548. , interpreted by ανευ αργυριου και δαπανης , "without money and expense": Christ here refers... read more

Then said he unto them ,.... That is, Jesus said unto them, as the Persic version expresses it: but now he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise his scrip ; signifying hereby, that from this time forward, immediately after his departure from them, after his death, resurrection, and ascension, when they should be sent into all the world to preach the Gospel, it would be otherwise with them than before; that they should be reduced to great penury and distress, should neither have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:37

For I say unto you, that this that is written ,.... In must yet be accomplished ; it having not been as yet; at least not so perfectly fulfilled: and he was reckoned among the transgressors . The Syriac and Arabic versions read in the first person, "and I shall be reckoned", &c.; and so the Persic version, "that I may be numbered", &c.; and the Ethiopic renders it, "and the Lord Jesus is numbered with sinners"; neither right: for the words are a proper citation from Isaiah... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:38

And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords ,.... That is, the disciples said so, as the Persic version expresses it; for they understood Christ's words literally; and two swords being among them, and which they might bring with them from Galilee, to defend themselves from thieves, and robbers, which infested the roads between that country and Jerusalem; and one of these, as appears afterwards, belonged to Peter; they mention them with a desire of knowing they were sufficient, or whether... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:36

He that hath no sword - Bishop Pearce supposes that the word μαχαιραν , sword, has been inserted here from what is said in Luke 22:38 , as it is evident our Lord never intended to make any resistance, or to suffer a sword to be used on the occasion; see Matthew 26:52 . The word stands rather oddly in the passage: the verse, translated in the order in which it stands, is as follows: And he who hath none, let him sell his garment and buy - a sword. Now it is plain that the verb πωλησατω... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:37

Must yet be accomplished - Probably meaning that, though this prophecy did refer to some particular matter in the time of the prophet, yet it farther ( ετι ) related to Christ, and could not have its complete accomplishment but in his crucifixion as a criminal. For the things concerning me have an end - As if he had said, My work is now almost done; yours is only beginning; I am now about to be crucified and numbered with the transgressors; think what will be done to you, and what... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:38

Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough - These words cannot be well understood as being an answer to the supposed command of Christ, for every one who had no sword to go and sell his garment and buy one; for, in this case, they were not enough, or sufficient, as nine of the disciples must be without any instrument of defense; but they may be understood as pointing out the readiness and determination of Peter, and perhaps some others, to defend our Lord: Thou... read more
