Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse
21 Moreover behold, the hand of the one betraying me is with me at the table. 22 Indeed the Son of man goes, according to that which has been appointed: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, who then of them is the one of them about to do this.
24 And there was a contention among them, which one of them seems to be the greater, 25 And He said to them, The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those exercising authority over them are called Benefactors. 26 But you are not thus: but let the greater among you be as the younger; and the leader as the waiter. 27 For which is the greater, he that sitteth at the table, or the waiter? is not the one sitting? but I am in the midst of you as the waiter. 28 But you are those who have remained with me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father appointed unto me, 30 in order that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And He said to them, It is sufficient.
