From ver. 35, our Lord's intention may be supposed to be, to remind them that all their wants had been hitherto supplied. But now, as he was about to be removed, he forewarns them that it would be hereafter necessary for them to act for themselves, and to provide against danger and difficulty. The disciples interpreted this literally, as appears from ver. 38, when our Lord slightly censures their misapprehension, by “ it is enough," and so closes the conversation. He was about to enter the scene at Gethsemane, and had not time then to listen to, or correct their erroneous inferences, iravóv ési, absurdum est, quod profertis, desinite tam anilia profari.
