Were the “purse and scrip”, mentioned in the same breath as the “sword” reference, also a matter of interacting with Temple guards?
For that matter, where in that section are “Temple guards” referred to? I’m not seeing it.

That verse brackets one at the beginning of His ministry, where He tells them to give up those things and put their full faith and needs in him, right down to giving up money and bags to carry stuff. Then, here at the end of His ministry, He directs them to take those items back up again - and includes swords as a new item in the list.

Note too that a couple disciples already had swords in their immediate possession, so one may presume they were carrying ‘em about for a while and He was fully away of the fact (both in omniscient knowledge and in the mundane fact it’s hard to keep a >2-foot razor blade hidden for very long when you’re living in a hot climate and not carrying much else to conceal it). His response to “here, we have two” wasn’t “huh? what? WHY? get rid of ‘em already!” (nor was it “nice start, now all of you arm yourselves to the teeth”). Nor, when used for defense or thereafter, did He direct them to get rid of the things.

BTW: don’t forget He beat the snot out of those selling things in the Temple, and when asked about defending himself opined that he had a legion of angels at His command (implication was He wasn’t going to have them sung into compliance).
