Luke 22:35

And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHEN I SENT YOU WITHOUT PURSE, AND SCRIP AND SHOES, LACKED YE ANY THING? AND THEY SAID, NOTHING. 'Ye see, then, your sufficiency in Me.'...

Luke 22:35._And he said to them. _The whole object of this discourse of Christ is to show, that hitherto he spared his disciples, so as to lay on them no heavier burden than they were able to bear. He reminds them of the indulgence exercised during the past time, that they may now prepare themselves with greater alacrity for severer warfare. For why did he, while they were altogether destitute of skill and training, keep them in the shade and in repose, at a distance from the darts of the enemy, except that, by gradually gathering courage and strength during the interval of leisure, they might be better prepared for fighting? The meaning is: “Hitherto you have had an easy and prosperous condition, because I wished to treat you gently, like children; the full time is now come, when I must employ you in labor, like men.” But the comparison which he makes between the two periods is stil

21-38 How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger. Unless we watch and pray always, we may be drawn in the course of the day into those sins which we were in the morning most resolved against. If believers were left to themselves, they would fall; but they are kept by the power of God, and the prayer of Christ. Our Lord gave notice of a very great change of circumstances now approaching. The disciples must not expect that their friends would be kind to...

Verse 35. _WHEN I SENT YOU WITHOUT PURSE_] See the notes on Matthew 10:9; Matthew 10:10....

WHEN I SENT YOU ... - See the notes at Matthew 10:9. LACKED YE ... - Did you want anything? Did not God fully provide for you? He refers to this to convince them that his words were true; that their past experience should lead them to put confidence in him and in God....

EXPOSITION LUKE 23:1 THE LAST PASSOVER. LUKE 22:1, LUKE 22:2 _Short explanatory introduction._ LUKE 22:1 NOW THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD DREW NIGH, WHICH IS CALLED THE PASSOVER. These words show that many of the readers for whom this Gospel was intended were foreigners, who were unacquainted with Jewish terms such as the "Passover." _Passover _(τὸ πάσχα, חסף) means, literally, "a passing." The feast so named commemorated the manner

AND HE SAID UNTO THEM,.... To the disciples, as the Persic version reads; not to Peter only, but to them all: WHEN I SENT YOU WITHOUT PURSE, AND SCRIP, AND SHOES; without the necessaries of life, without proper accommodations for a journey, without provisions, or money, to buy any with: so ανευ βαλαντιου, "without a purse", is, by the Scholiast on Aristophanes t, interpreted by ανευ αργυριου και δαπανης, "without money and expense": Christ here refers to his mission of them in Matthew 10:5 LACKED YE ANY THING? any of the common blessings of life, food to eat, or raiment to wear? AND THEY SAID, NOTHING; they lacked nothing at all; wherever they came, they had friendly accommodations; they were provided with every thing necessary for them; they had both food and raiment, and good lodgings in every place; the houses and hearts of men we

Luke 22:1. _Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people._ Dastardly fear often drives men to the greatest crimes. He who is not brave enough to be master of his own spirit, and to follow the dictates of his own conscience, may do, before long, he little knows what. Because of the fear of the people, the chief priests and scribes were driven to compass the death of Christ by craft, and to bring him to his death by the cruel betrayal of Judas, one of his own apostles. Luke 22:3. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And t

VI. HIS REJECTION, SUFFERING AND DEATH -- CHAPTER 22-23 CHAPTER 22 _ 1. The Betrayer. (Luke 22:1 .)_ 2. Preparation for the Passover. (Luke 22:7 .) 3. The Last Passover. (Luke 22:14 .) 4. The Lord's Supper Instituted. (Luke 22:19) 5. The Betrayal Announced. (Luke 22:21) 6. Strife for Honor; True Greatness. (Luke 22:24) 7. Rewards Promised. (Luke 22:28

In these verses (Lk. only) Jesus announces a change of method from that advocated in Luke 9:3; Luke 10:4. Montefiore soundly says Luke 22:35 f. must be considered apart from Luke 22:37 and especially from Luke 22:38. It is not a counsel to resist the coming arrest of Jesus, but to prepare for the new missionary experiences awaiting them after His death, when, instead of the welcome accorded them on their first tour, they will have to make their way in the face of opposition and hostility. The sword is thus probably metaphorical. This seems preferable to J. Weiss's idea that Jesus is thinki
