It is enough.--Here again there is a touch of grave irony. The "two swords" were enough, and more than enough, for Him who did not mean them to use the swords at all. The word for "enough" may be noted as used far more often by St. Luke than in the other Gospels.

Both are simply the dreams of a diseased fancy, and find their fit home at last in the limbo of vanities. Verse 38. - And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords.

Uterque ergo in potestate est Ecclesiae, spiritualis scilicet gladius et materialis."Parallel Commentaries ...
