Luke 22:49

22:49 When 1  those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should 2  we use our swords?” 3 

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn The direct question using “if” in Greek is not unusual (BDF §440.3).

3 sn “Should we use our swords?” The disciples’ effort to defend Jesus recalls Luke 22:35-38. One individual did not wait for the answer.
