SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:37
Porque os digo, que es necesario que se cumpla todavía en mí aquello que est escrito: Y con los malos fue contado; porque lo que est escrito de mí, su cumplimiento tiene.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 22:37
Verse 37. Must yet be accomplished] Probably meaning that, though this prophecy did refer to some particular matter in the time of the prophet, yet it farther (eti) related to Christ, and could not have its complete accomplishment but in his crucifixion as a criminal. For the things concerning me have an end.] As if he had said, My work is now almost done; yours is only beginning; I am now about to be crucified and numbered with the transgressors; think what will be done to you, and what ought to be done by you; and then think if this be a time for you to be contending with each other. Lightfoot.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. For I say unto you, that this that is written , etc.] In ( Isaiah 53:12) must yet be accomplished ; it having not been as yet; at least not so perfectly fulfilled: and he was reckoned among the transgressors . The Syriac and Arabic versions read in the first person, and I shall be reckoned, etc. and so the Persic version, that I may be numbered, etc. and the Ethiopic renders it, and the Lord Jesus is numbered with sinners; neither right: for the words are a proper citation from ( Isaiah 53:12) which, as the whole prophecy belongs to the Messiah, was fulfilled in Jesus; who, though he was no transgressor, yet being in the likeness of sinful flesh, and dwelling among, and conversing with sinners, was traduced as one, and was joined with Barabbas, a murderer, a thief, and a robber, and put up with him for the people to choose which of the two they would have released; and was at last crucified between two thieves; and more than this, being in the legal place, and stead of his people, and having their sins laid upon him, and imputed to him, he was made and accounted, by imputation, not only a sinner, but sin itself; and as such, was considered in the eye of the law, and by the justice of God, and was treated accordingly; (see Gill on Mark 15:28) for the things concerning me have an end . The Syriac version renders it, all of them; or the whole of it, as the Ethiopic version; all that were concerning him; all the counsels, purposes, and decrees of God, relating to his sufferings and death; to the manner in which his death was brought about, by one of his disciples betraying him; to the several indignities he should be used with, by Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Jews, and Roman soldiers; and to his death itself; all which were by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and now were about to have, and quickly had their fulfilling end; as also all his own covenant engagements and agreements he entered into with his Father, to bear the sins of many, to make his soul an offering for sin, to be numbered with transgressors, and pour out his soul unto death; and likewise all the types and shadows of the law, all sacrifices in general, and the daily sacrifice in particular, with the passover, brazen serpent, and other things, even the whole law, both moral and ceremonial, had their full and final accomplishment in him; together with all the prophecies of the Old Testament relating to this matter, particularly ( Genesis 3:15 Psalm 22:12 Isaiah 53:5-12 Daniel 9:26 Zechariah 12:10 13:6,7).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-38 - How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothin more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger. Unless we watch and pray always, we may be drawn in the cours of the day into those sins which we were in the morning most resolve against. If believers were left to themselves, they would fall; but they are kept by the power of God, and the prayer of Christ. Our Lor gave notice of a very great change of circumstances now approaching The disciples must not expect that their friends would be kind to the as they had been. Therefore, he that has a purse, let him take it, for he may need it. They must now expect that their enemies would be mor fierce than they had been, and they would need weapons. At the time the apostles understood Christ to mean real weapons, but he spake only of the weapons of the spiritual warfare. The sword of the Spirit is the sword with which the disciples of Christ must furnish themselves.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
37. Have an end (telov ecei). The phrase is synonymous with be accomplished telesqhnai, Rev., fulfilled). In classical Greek this latter word is often used of the fulfilment of an oracle: also of things which are settled beyond controversy. The two expressions here give the two meanings. The prophecy is fulfilled; the things concerning me are finally settled.39-46. Compare Matt. xxvi. 30, 36-46; Mark xiv. 26, 32-42.
