Exegesis
The predicate expression Hikanon estin {Ἱκανόν ἐστιν | Hi-ka-nón é-stin} places the adjective Hikanon first for emphasis, underscoring the sufficiency of what has been mentioned. In translation, direct speech punctuation is supplied, the postpositive de is consistently rendered as “and,” and the concise Greek reply is preserved to reflect the terse, possibly ironic, finality of Jesus’ answer.
In context — Luke 22:38
And they said, “Lord , look, here are two swords .” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
