Exegesis of Lk 22:35-38 teaches us about the pragmatic mandatory mission strategy. It resolves the snag and puzzle of the appearance of the sword in the Gospels. To a Church that is persecuted, Jesus instructs the need to be prepared to defend the believers. It helps us to contextualize our theologizing the Word of God.
