Mr. Luke vs Mr. Matthew
In the Gospel of Luke:
Jesus supports the need for swords
In the Gospel of Matthew:
Jesus scorns the need for swords
In Luke, Jesus tells them they need a sword
Luke "If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’" 38 The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." “That is enough,” he replied.
Matthew 26:52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."
Recap: So they ought to get a sword, but they shouldn't draw the sword. Thus Luke vs Matthew.
