Luke 22:33-38

Context
22:33 But Peter 1  said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” 2  22:34 Jesus replied, 3  “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow 4  today until you have denied 5  three times that you know me.”

22:35 Then 6  Jesus 7  said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, 8  or traveler’s bag, 9  or sandals, you didn’t lack 10  anything, did you?” They replied, 11  “Nothing.” 22:36 He said to them, “But now, the one who 12  has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag 13  too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be 14  fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ 15  For what is written about me is being fulfilled.” 16  22:38 So 17  they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” 18  Then he told them, “It is enough.” 19

[22:33]  1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:33]  2 sn The confidence Peter has in private (Lord, I am ready…) will wilt under the pressure of the public eye.

[22:34]  3 tn Grk “he said”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:34]  4 sn That is, Peter’s denials will happen before the sun rises.

[22:34]  5 sn Once again, Jesus is quite aware that Peter will deny him. Peter, however, is too nonchalant about the possibility of stumbling.

[22:35]  5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[22:35]  6 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:35]  7 tn Traditionally, “purse” (likewise in v. 36).

[22:35]  8 tn Or possibly “beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145).

[22:35]  9 sn This refers back to 9:3 and 10:3-4. The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “did you?” Nothing was lacking.

[22:35]  10 tn Grk “said.”

[22:36]  7 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]  8 tn Or possibly “beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145).

[22:37]  9 sn This scripture must be fulfilled in me. The statement again reflects the divine necessity of God’s plan. See 4:43-44.

[22:37]  10 tn Or “with the lawless.”

[22:37]  11 tn Grk “is having its fulfillment.”

[22:38]  11 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ comments about obtaining swords.

[22:38]  12 sn Here are two swords. The disciples mistakenly took Jesus to mean that they should prepare for armed resistance, something he will have to correct in 22:50-51.

[22:38]  13 sn It is enough. The disciples’ misunderstanding caused Jesus to terminate the discussion.
