Parallel Gospels 89b - Be Ready for Trouble

Luke 22:35-38 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Be Ready for Trouble

35 He also said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

36 Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws.[a] Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.”

38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

“Enough of that!”[b] He told them.

John 15:18-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Persecutions Predicted

18 “If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.20 Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word,they will also keep yours. 21 But they will do all these things to you on account of My name,because they don’t know the One who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin.[a] Now they have no excuse for their sin.23 The one who hates Me also hates My Father. 24 If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened so that the statement written in their scripture might be fulfilled: They hated Me for no reason.[b]

Coming Testimony and Rejection

26 “When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.27 You also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

John 16:1-4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

16 “I have told you these things to keep you from stumbling. 2 They will ban you from the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering service to God.3 They will do these things because they haven’t known the Father or Me. 4 But I have told you these things so that when their time[a] comes you may remember I told them to you. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
