Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse
21 But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that was about to do this.
24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule as lords over them, and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. 26 But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth. 27 For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth. 28 Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials. 29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me; 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31 Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen thy brethren.

36 But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword. 37 For I say to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: "And he was reckoned among transgressors." For that which concerneth me also hath an end.
38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to him, It is enough!
