Luke 22:19–34
The Lord’s Supper is Instituted
19 lAnd He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My mbody which is given for you; ndo this in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, o“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
Matt. 26:21–25; Mark 14:18–21; John 13:21–26
21 pBut behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 qAnd truly the Son of Man goes ras it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 sThen they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
The Disciples Argue Over Who is the Greatest
24 tNow there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25 uAnd He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 26 vBut not so among you; on the contrary, whe who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. 27 xFor who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet yI am among you as the One who serves.
28 “But you are those who have continued with Me in zMy trials. 29 And aI bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30 that byou may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, cand sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Christ Predicts Peter’s Denial
Matt. 26:31–35; Mark 14:27–31; John 13:36–38
31 4And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, dSatan has asked for you, that he may esift you as wheat. 32 But fI have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, gstrengthen your brethren.”
33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”
34 hThen He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”
