Luke 22:14-47
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
14And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." 19And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 20And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. 21But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!" 23And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
24A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.
25And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
26But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
27For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves.
28"You are those who have stayed with me in my trials,
29and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,
30that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
32but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
33Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
34Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."
35And he said to them, "When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
36He said to them, "But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.
37For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment."
38And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."
39And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
41And he withdrew from them about a stone 's throw, and knelt down and prayed,
42saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,
46and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
