Luke 22:49

22:49 When ¹  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should ²  we use our swords?” ³ 

[22:49]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[22:49]  ² tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

[22:49]  ³ sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.
