Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse
21 Yet look! The hand of the man who is betraying me is beside me on the table! 22 For the Son of Man is going his way, as it has been decreed, but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!"
23 And they began to discuss with one another which of them it was who was going to do this.
24 A dispute also arose among them, as to which one of them ought to be considered the greatest. 25 But he said to them, "The kings of the heathen lord it over them, and their authorities are given the title of Benefactor. 26 But you are not to do so, but whoever is greatest among you must be like the youngest, and the leader like a servant. 27 For which is greater, the man at the table, or the servant who waits on him? Is not the man at the table? Yet I am like a servant among you. 28 But it is you who have stood by me in my trials. 29 So just as my Father has conferred a kingdom on me 30 I confer on you the right to eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and to sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel!
31 O Simon, Simon! Satan has obtained permission to sift all of you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And afterward you yourself must turn and strengthen your brothers."
33 Peter said to him, "Master, I am ready to go to prison and to death with you!"
34 But he said, "I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow today before you deny three times that you know me!"
35 And he said to them, "When I sent you out without any purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" They said, "No, nothing."
36 He said to them, "But now, if a man has a purse let him take it, and a bag too. And a man who has no sword must sell his coat and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this saying of Scripture must find its fulfilment in me: 'He was rated an outlaw.' Yes, that saying about me is to be fulfilled!"
38 But they said, "See, Master, here are two swords!" And he said to them, "Enough of this!"
