Luke 22:36: Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

I used the King James version since I’m not entirely sure what the best version to use is.

Did you just not read my post yesterday on that, or something?

Immediately following that, Jesus says the reason for that is that they must be counted among the outlaws, as it says in prophecy. The disciples tell Jesus, “Look, we have two swords, and he says “Enough, enough!”. And then when one of the swords is actually used, he tells the disciple who used it to stop.

There is no command to violence in the disciples possessing two swords. It is not enough to fight the Romans with. The purpose of them is obviously other; most likely to fulfill the prophecy of being ‘outlaws’ by being in armed rebellion.

If you think otherwise, explain why two swords are enough, and what they were enough for, given the actual events described in the New Testament.
