For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” Luke 22:37 is the important part. They only needed two swords so he could be counted against the rebels. This scripture isn't telling us to buy weapons

What is the fulfillment he was referring to. My Bible's marginalia cites Isaiah 53:12 for Luke 22:37, but no mentions of weapons.

He was counted amoungst the rebels. It was illegal for the desiples to possess weapons making them rebels
