Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse

21 But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of man goeth as it was determined; but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed.

23 And they inquired among themselves, Which of them it was, that would do this?

24 There was also a contention among them, Which of them was greatest. 25 And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and they that exercise authority upon them have the title of benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he that is chief as he that serveth. 27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? 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 in me in my temptations. 29 And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father to me, 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he might sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not: and when thou art returned, strengthen thy brethren.

33 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee both to prison and to death.

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, it shall not be the time of cockcrowing this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

35 And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?

36 And they said, Nothing. Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I say to you, That this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

38 For the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Behold here are two swords. And he said to them, it is enough.
