Luke 22:21-38 - A Final Discourse

21 And yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is at table with me: 22 and the Son of man is going indeed as was determined; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed.

23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do it.

24 And there was also a dispute among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest: 25 but He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not do so: but let the greatest among you be as the younger; and he that presides 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 among you as one that serveth. 28 Ye have continued with me in my temptations; 29 and I appoint you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me: 30 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

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

34 But He replied, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.

35 And He said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, or bag, or shoes, did ye want any thing? and they said, Nothing.

36 Then said He unto them, But now let him, that hath a purse, take it, and his bag likewise; and let him that has no sword, sell his garment and buy one: 37 for I tell you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And He was numbered with transgressors," for the things foretold concerning me are near at an end.

38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And He said unto them, It is enough.
