Only Luke records Jesus’ enigmatic words to His disciples: He said to them: When I sent you out without purse or haversack or sandals, were you short of anything? 'No, nothing,' they said. He said to them: 'But now if you have a purse, take it and the same with a haversack; if you have no sword, sell your cloak and buy one’ (Luke 22: 35-36). Christ anticipates possible doubts of his disciples. In Luke 22: 35 he shows that he changes his ordinances, from his previous instructions. Nilus of Ancyra (died c. 430), as the only author who lived in antiquity, dedicated a discourse on these enigmatic words of Jesus1. How does the interpretation of Nilus presents himself against the background of ancient exegesis? In this paper we will try to ascertain the originality of the Greek writer against the background of others. We will appeal both to Greek, and Latin commentaries on those words. Nilus explained his thought in the first part of his discourse. Further, as is often the case with ancient authors, he displays subplots, unimportant for our exegesis.
