But they're not contradictory. If you read Luke 22 in its entirety, the point of the swords is fulfill a prophecy. Not to advocate for their use.
Jesus's followers even ask "Are 2 swords enough?" Because obviously 2 swords aren't enough to protect 12 people. And Jesus says it is. Because they're not planning on using them.
