And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did
not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No,
nothing.” And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also
a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. For
I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘And He was numbered with
transgressors’; for that which refers to Me has its
fulfillment.” They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
And He said to them, “It is enough.”
One of the great lessons in the Bible is to
remember. He wants the disciples to
remember they need neither sword or money or belongings, because they admit
that they were satisfied without them.
Now Jesus is warning the disciples that He must pay the price for all
transgressors and the time is at hand, but they could not comprehend it.
Daily
Prayer: Lord, make me aware of the
warnings you send to me. But not only
aware, but let me act according to the foreknowledge You give so that when Your
time comes, I will be waiting for You.
Amen.
