And they said: Of nothing. 36 and he said to them: But now the one having a purse let him take it likewise also a wallet, and the one not having let him sell the garment of him and let him buy a sword. 37 For I tell you that this having been written it behoves to be finished in me, And with lawless men he was reckoned; for indeed the thing concerning me an end has. 38 And they said: Lord, behold swords here two.
