this is what He told ALL of the disciples ........
Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
"and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
in other words ..... EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO NAKED ...... be ARMED ..........

There's a context thing here to bee explained about this verse. I personally am not qualified so someone else should do the honors, thank you.
As for Yeshua Bar Yosef; He was more "Woodstock '69" than "Ted Nugent Concert" and you should be ashamed of yourselves!
"EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO NAKED ...... be ARMED"
- You go naked! Something about the field being generated by a living organism, *nothing dead will go!*
- Why?
- I DIDN'T BUILD THE FUCKING THING!!
As soon as Peter uses said sword he is rebuked and the soldier he injured healed. If accurate, I have no idea what Jesus was going for here. I assume the Sermon on the Mount to be mostly lofty hyperbole, but save for driving out the money changers, he seems pretty mellow most of the time (taking the accounts face value).
Yes, he wanted swords visible. Seems to have been for deterrence, not use, because the only time any follower of Jesus actually used their weapon, Jesus chewed his ass and healed the victim.
Matthew, Chapter 26, verse 52.
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Luke 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is not enough. We'll also need bows. Maybe a ballista or two. Can we get one mounted on my pickup that donkey I had you steal? Gosh dang it, I wish we were doing this a couple thousand years from now, because we sure could use us a whole bunch of those AK-47s and some AR-15s, and as many handguns as we can possibly get!
Luke 22:39 But they couldn't get the weapons they wanted, because every gun shop they went to refused to sell to them, citing the fact they looked a little too middle-eastern for comfort.

I can't help it. I have a soft-spot for that cute, skinny, boyish, grumpy, elfin little Scottish space-pirate!
In my head-canon, he's a bit like Devil Boner....image image
Abrams/Kennedy/etc. probably envisioned a slimy, ugly, irredeemable Complete Monster but I see a cute fiery Scottish Devil Boner with a very active sex-life who only worked with the First Order for the fat monetary reward. I mean; Why would lawless, anything-goes criminals want to ally themselves with a strict, stuffy, law-obsessed Fascist government? Unless the F.O. stiffs were willing to pay top-Credit for a cute Volley-Ball droid or promise "immunity", I doubt criminals would care.
I just can't see a wild-boy like Bala-Tik chummin' around with a boring, uptight stiff like General Hux. Hux may be yummy to look at but he (canonically) comes across as the kind of guy who douses his surroundings in Lysol and thinks plain oatmeal is too exciting. Bert from Sesame Street would probably tell the Gingersnap to "lighten up".
And the ammosexual cherry picks the verse he likes…
Have a sword.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
