Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse
21 yet there's the hand that is to seize me, now upon the table. 22 the son of man indeed must die, as it was decreed: but wo to that man by whom he is betrayed.
23 upon this they began to enquire of one another, which of them it was that should do such an action.
24 Now there had been a dispute among the disciples, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 Jesus therefore told them, the kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they, who are invested with their authority, take the title of benefactors. 26 but you must not be such: the greatest of you must be as the junior, and he that governs as he that serves. 27 for who is greatest, he that sits at table, or he that waits? is it not the person at table? yet I am among you as one that serves. 28 but since you did not abandon me in my trials, 29 I commit the kingdom to you, as my father committed it to me; 30 that you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and seated on thrones may judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Then said Jesus, Simon, Simon, satan has demanded to shake you, and my disciples, like wheat in a sieve. 32 but as for thee, I have pray'd that you faith may not fail. do you in return establish thy brethren.
33 Peter answer'd, Lord, I am ready to accompany you both to prison, and to death.
34 but Jesus said, before the cock proclaims the day, you will thrice deny that ever you knew me.
35 When I sent you, added Jesus, without either purse, or bag, or shoes, was you in any want? not at all, answer'd they.
36 but now, said he, let him that hath a purse, and a bag, take them both; and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment to buy one. 37 for take notice, that scripture, "and he was number'd among the transgressors," is yet to be accomplished in my person: and all that relates to me is going to be consummated.
38 Lord, said they, you see, we have two swords. he reply'd, that's enough.
