Then Jesus asked them
In this opening phrase, we see Jesus initiating a conversation with His disciples. The Greek word for "asked" is "ἐπηρώτησεν" (eperōtēsen), which implies a questioning or inquiring. This is not merely a casual question but a purposeful inquiry meant to provoke thought and reflection. Jesus often used questions to teach and to lead His disciples into deeper understanding. This method reflects the rabbinical tradition of teaching through dialogue and questions, encouraging the disciples to engage actively with the lessons He was imparting.

When I sent you out
Here, Jesus refers back to a previous mission He gave to His disciples, as recorded in Luke 9:1-6 and Luke 10:1-12. The phrase "sent you out" comes from the Greek "ἀπέστειλα" (apesteila), which is related to the word "apostle," meaning "one who is sent." This highlights the authority and purpose with which Jesus commissioned His disciples. Historically, this sending was a significant moment where the disciples were empowered to preach the Kingdom of God and perform miracles, signifying the extension of Jesus' ministry through them.

without purse or bag or sandals
In this phrase, Jesus reminds the disciples of the specific instructions He gave them during their mission. The "purse" (Greek: "βαλλάντιον," ballantion) refers to a money bag, while "bag" (Greek: "πήρα," pēra) indicates a traveler's bag or knapsack. "Sandals" (Greek: "ὑποδήματα," hupodēmata) are the footwear of the time, essential for travel. By sending them without these items, Jesus was teaching them to rely entirely on God's provision and the hospitality of those they would encounter. This instruction was a test of faith and trust in God's providence, emphasizing the spiritual over the material.

Did you lack anything?
This rhetorical question is designed to remind the disciples of God's faithfulness. The Greek word for "lack" is "ὑστερήσατε" (hysterēsate), which means to be in need or to fall short. Jesus is prompting the disciples to recall their experiences and recognize that despite their lack of physical provisions, they were never in want. This serves as a powerful reminder of God's ability to provide for His people, reinforcing the lesson of dependence on divine provision rather than human resources.

Nothing
The disciples' response, "Nothing," is a testament to the sufficiency of God's provision. This single word encapsulates their experience of God's faithfulness and care. It is a declaration of trust and a recognition that when they followed Jesus' instructions, they were fully provided for. This acknowledgment serves as an encouragement to believers to trust in God's provision, even when circumstances seem uncertain or challenging.

(35) When I sent you without purse, and scrip.--The words refer specially to the command given to the disciples in Luke 10:4; Matthew 10:9-10. The whole incident is peculiar to St. Luke. The appeal to their past experience is interesting as showing that on their first mission they were welcomed by those who heard them, and received food and shelter that met all their wants.

Verses 35, 36. - And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything. And they said, Nothing. 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. The Lord speaks one more word to his own before leaving the upper room, More occupied with the future trials of his disciples than with his own tragic destiny, which he knew was about to be fulfilled, he reminds his friends of the comparatively quiet and serene existence they had been spending during the last two years and a half with him. In that period, generally speaking, they had been welcomed and kindly entertained by the people, sometimes, they would remember, even with enthusiasm. But they must prepare now for a different life - cold looks, opposition, even bitter persecution, would be their lot for the future. They must order themselves now to meet these things. No ordinary prudent forethought must be omitted by them. He had more than hinted that this future lay before them in his words, "Behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;" now he plainly tells them what kind of life awaited them in the immediate future. Of course, the advice as to the sword was not meant to be taken literally. It was one of those metaphors the Lord used so often in his teaching. For a similar metaphor still more elaborately developed, see Ephesians 6:17, and following verses.
