Luke22:38

Translation

Then they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”

And He said to them, “It is enough.”

Paraphrase

Then some of them said, “Look, Lord, two of us have a weapon so they can do defend the rest of us.”

His response to them was, “OK, whatever.”

Jesus’ answer was not a clear condemnation of their statement, but neither did it condone their statement. To me it shows that the disciples did not understand or fully espouse the teachings of Jesus about depending on God rather than on material preparedness, and His teaching about nonviolence. Jesus had made His point and was not inclined to argue with them. Notice the difference in what was said just moments ago – sell you cloak if you must, but by all means buy a sword! That is a very strong statement, while here his response is basically “whatever.”
