And he said unto them,
When I sent you without purse, and bag, and sandals, lacked you anything?
And they said, Nothing.
All Commentaries on Luke 22:35 Go To Luke 22
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
He tells them the cause of the evil and of a tribulation so severe and irremediable befalling them. He says that according to the Scriptures, he is about to be numbered with the transgressors. Christ plainly refers to his being hung on the cross with the thieves who were crucified with him, enduring a transgressor’s punishment…. He will also sit on the throne of his glory, judging the world in righteousness, as it is written. The prophet says, “Then they will look on him whom they pierced.” As these wretched beings ridiculed Christ as they saw him hang on the precious cross, they will behold him crowned with godlike glory and will fall into the pit of destruction in just retribution of their wickedness toward him. “What concerns me,” he says, “has an end as far as it relates to my suffering death in the flesh.” Then those things foretold by the holy prophets in olden times will happen to those who murdered him.
