Luke 22:49

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

When they which were about him,.... That is, the eleven disciples that were about Christ, and with him in the garden:saw what would follow; that their Lord and master was about to be betrayed by Judas, and would be seized, and carried away by the multitude, that were with him:they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

or "swords", as the Syriac and Persic versions read; with the two swords which they had along with them.
