'"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have all of you, to sift you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to Me again, strengthen and build up your brothers." Peter said, "Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you." But Jesus said, "Peter, let Me tell you something. The rooster will not crow tomorrow morning until you have denied three times that you even know Me." Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler's bag, or extra clothing, did you lack anything?" "No," they replied. "But now," He said, "take your money and a traveler's bag. And if you don't have a sword, sell your clothes and buy one! For the time has come for this prophecy about Me to be fulfilled: `He was counted among those who were rebels.' Yes, everything written about Me by the prophets will come true." "Lord," they replied, "we have two swords among us." "That's enough," He said.
~ Luke 22:31-38 (NLT)
