Now, however, This phrase indicates a shift in circumstances or instructions. Previously, Jesus had sent His disciples out without provisions (Luke 9:3), relying on the hospitality of others. The "however" suggests a change in the situation, likely due to the impending challenges and hostility they would face. He told them, the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in this passage, providing instructions to His disciples as He prepares them for the challenges they will face after His departure. 2. The Disciples The immediate audience of Jesus' instructions, representing the early followers of Christ who would soon face persecution and hardship. 3. The Upper Room The setting for this discourse, where Jesus shares the Last Supper with His disciples and prepares them for His impending crucifixion. 4. Jerusalem The city where these events take place, significant as the center of Jewish religious life and the location of Jesus' crucifixion. 5. The Sword Symbolic in this context, representing the need for preparedness and self-defense in a hostile world. Teaching Points Preparedness in FaithJesus' instruction to buy a sword symbolizes the need for His followers to be prepared for spiritual and physical challenges. This preparedness is not about aggression but about being ready to face opposition with wisdom and courage. Spiritual Readiness Just as the disciples were to be physically prepared, Christians today must be spiritually equipped, using the Word of God as their sword to combat spiritual battles. Trust in God's Provision While Jesus instructs His disciples to take practical steps for their journey, it is also a reminder to trust in God's provision and guidance in times of need. Balance of Peace and Defense Christians are called to be peacemakers, yet there is a time to defend oneself and others, always seeking God's wisdom in discerning the right course of action. Community Support The mention of a purse and bag suggests the importance of community and mutual support among believers, sharing resources and burdens.(36) He that hath a purse, let him take it.--The word for "purse" is the same as in Luke 10:4, where see Note. On "scrip," see Note on Matthew 10:10. If the words had stopped short of the "sword," we could have received their literal meaning without difficulty. They would have seemed to counsel the prudence which provides for want, instead of a simple trust, as before, in the providence of God, and so would have sanctioned all equitable forms of Church organisation and endowment. The mention of the "sword," however, introduces a new element of thought. Our Lord's words to Peter (Matthew 26:52) show that the disciples were not meant to use it in His defence. It is not likely that He would teach them to use it in their own, as they preached the gospel of the Kingdom. True teachers felt afterwards that the weapons of their warfare were not carnal (2Corinthians 10:4). What follows supplies a probable explanation. The Master knew that two of the disciples (Peter and another) had brought swords with them, and with that acceptance of the thoughts of others which we have so often traced, He sadly, and yet, as it were, with the gentle sympathy with which a man speaks to those who are children in age or character, conveyed His warnings in the form which met their fears and hopes. If they meant to trust in swords, a time was coming when they would sorely need them.
