Why did Jesus tell his disciples to buy swords?

In the following verse Jesus mentions another prophecy to be fulfilled.
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. - Luke 22:37
A transgressor is, by definition:
One who transgresses; one who breaks a law, or violates a command; one who violates any known rule or principle of rectitude; a sinner
Now here is where it becomes more a matter of opinion:
It is clear that, at least in our current day case, that interfering with the law is in fact a crime. Here we have two illustrations of that - first, the Apostles with Jesus are not yet saved since Jesus had not yet been crucified, so they were still sinners - and transgressors of the Law passed down by Moses from God. Second, they were interfering in Jesus' arrest and Peter attacked a guard. So that makes then transgressors of the law as by man.
So we see here a fulfillment of the prophecy Jesus mentioned in verse 37, as both spiritually and man-made sense the Apostles would be transgressors.
