Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse

21 Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table. 22 Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.

23 And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate!

24 And it came to pass that there was, a rivalry also, among them, as to which of them seemed to be greater than the rest . 25 And, he, said unto them - The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called. 26 But, ye, not so! On the contrary - the greater among you, Let him become as, the younger, and, he that governeth, as, he that ministereth, 27 For which is greater - he that reclineth? or he that ministereth?

35 And he said unto them - When I sent you forth, without purse or satchel or sandals, of anything, came ye short? And, they, said - Of nothing!

36 And he said unto them - But, now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, in like manner also, a satchel; and, he that hath nothing, let him sell his mantle, and buy a sword! 37 For I say unto you - This that is written, must needs be completed in me, - And, with lawless ones, was he reckoned; for, even that which concerneth me, hath, completion.

38 And, they, said - Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them - 'Tis, enough!
