Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse
21 But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me at the table. 22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, as is decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to question among themselves, who it could possibly be of them who should do this thing.
24 Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth. 27 For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. 28 Ye are they who have continued with me during my trials. 29 And I appoint you, as my Father hath appointed me, a kingdom; 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath earnestly sought you, that he might sift you as wheat: 32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and when thou art returned, stablish thy brethren.
33 Then he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, to prison, and to death!
34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou shalt thrice deny having known me.
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or sandals, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then said he to them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him also take a scrip: and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37 For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.
38 Then they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords, and he said to them, It is enough.
