Luke 10:4

10:4 Do not carry ¹  a money bag, ²  a traveler’s bag, ³  or sandals, and greet no one on the road. ⁴ 

Luke 22:36

22:36 He said to them, “But now, the one who ⁵  has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag ⁶  too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.

[10:4]  ¹ sn On the command Do not carry see Luke 9:3. The travel instructions communicate a note of urgency and stand in contrast to philosophical teachers, who often took a bag. There is no ostentation in this ministry.

[10:4]  ² tn Traditionally, “a purse.”

[10:4]  ³ tn Or possibly “a beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

[10:4]  ⁴ tn Or “no one along the way.”

[22:36]  ⁵ tn The syntax of this verse is disputed, resulting in various translations. The major options are either (1) that reflected in the translation or (2) that those who have a money bag and traveler’s bag should get a sword, just as those who do not have these items should sell their cloak to buy a sword. The point of all the options is that things have changed and one now needs full provisions. Opposition will come. But “sword” is a figure for preparing to fight. See Luke 22:50-51.

[22:36]  ⁶ tn Or possibly “beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145).
