The Kingdom of Jesu

Jesu's reference to being among his disciples as one who serves might imply his washing of their feet in this scene. Jesus also acts as a mediator here interceding for peter so that satan will not destroy him. After this point, the nature of their mission will change. They will need a money bag, sack and sword. This need not be read as a statement that they had to buy actual swords at this point. But having swords would help them to fulfil biblical prophecy. As we see in verse 37, jesus would be numbered with the transgressors. And following the sinful woman does for jesus what he will later do for his disciples.
