1 | Two swords:is the love of God enough | Eph 6:17 | Morant61 | 120884 | ||
Greetings Ray! Jesus' comment in Luke 22:38 is interesting. It is apparent that 'it' cannot refer to the swords. As I have mentioned many times before, a pronoun must agree in gender and number with it's antecedent. 'Sword' is feminine and plural. 'It' is neuter and singular. Therefore, 'it' cannot refer to the two swords. However, there is no apparent antecedent either. So, it seems most likely that Jesus' comment is a dismissive one. 'It is enough' would then mean something like 'Enough of this talk'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Two swords:is the love of God enough | Eph 6:17 | Ray | 120955 | ||
Hi Morant61, Jesus is the One speaking in this passage and He quotes the word of God as found in Isaiah. So if "It is enough" is a dismissive comment of 'Enough of this talk', or 'That is enough', it is in no way in a negative sense. He brought up the subject, so He cannot find fault with the disciples when they find a couple of swords. Would you look at another "it is enough" passage for me in relation to your point of the pronoun agreeing in gender and number with it's antecedent? John 14:8, "Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Also, who or what is "it", John 4:10, "Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink', you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." Thanks ahead of time for your information and comments. From the heart, Ray |
