Contemporary English Version
Moneybags, Traveling Bags, and Swords
35 (A) Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out without a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals, did you need anything?”
“No!” they answered.
36 Jesus told them, “But now, if you have a moneybag, take it with you. Also take a traveling bag, and if you don't have a sword,[a] sell some of your clothes and buy one. 37 (B) Do this because the Scriptures say, ‘He was considered a criminal.’ This was written about me, and it will soon come true.”
