Subject: Two Swords (Answer to Post# 100637) |
Bible Note: Greetings 4square, [Post# 100637] "And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough." Luke 22:38 [ESV] Here is a bit of commentary on this verse.. "22:38 two swords. These were short, dagger-like instruments- more like knives than swords. There was nothing unusual about the carrying of such weapons in that culture. They had many practical uses besides violence against other people. "It is enough." I.e., enough of such talk (cf. v. 51)." (1) "22:38 "...two swords." ..."It is enough." Sensing that the disciples had taken Him too literally, Jesus ironically closes the discussion with a curt "That's plenty!" Not long after this, Peter was rebuked for using a sword (v. 50)." (2) "22:35-38 Earlier Jesus instructed the disciples to travel light and depend on hospitality (9:3), but now they would need to provide for themselves and protect themselves with a sword. two swords. We know Peter had one, for soon he cut of Malchus's ear. It is enough of this conversation." (3) "22:38 Misunderstanding Jesus' instructions in v. 36, the disciples indicated that they had weapons with which to fight (vv. 50, 51)."
