Luke 22:39

"They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”"

Key Reflection

The disciples' offer of swords symbolized their misunderstanding of Jesus' mission; they sought physical rather than spiritual defense. Jesus' response indicates that His way involves not military force but a different, more profound form of power, preparing them for the non-violent path ahead.
