Luke 22:21-37

21“The hand of the one who will betray me is with me on the table.

22The Son of Man is going to die the way it has been planned for him. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays him.”

23So they began to discuss with each other who could do such a thing.

24Then a quarrel broke out among the disciples. They argued about who should be considered the greatest.

25Jesus said to them, “The kings of nations have power over their people, and those in authority call themselves friends of the people.

26But you’re not going to be that way! Rather, the greatest among you must be like the youngest, and your leader must be like a servant.

27Who’s the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn’t it really the person who sits at the table? But I’m among you as a servant.

28“You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me.

29So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I’m giving it to you.

30You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will also sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.”

31⌞Then the Lord said,⌟ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks.

32But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. So when you recover, strengthen the other disciples.”

33But Peter said to him, “Lord, I’m ready to go to prison with you and to die with you.”

34Jesus replied, “Peter, I can guarantee that the rooster won’t crow tonight until you say three times that you don’t know me.”

35Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out without a wallet, traveling bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” “Not a thing!” they answered.

36Then he said to them, “But now, the person who has a wallet and a traveling bag should take them along. The person who doesn’t have a sword should sell his coat and buy one.

37I can guarantee that the Scripture passage which says, ‘He was counted with criminals,’ must find its fulfillment in me. Indeed, whatever is written about me will come true.”
