Luke 22:7–38
22:7 Then the day for the feast22 of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.23 22:8 Jesus24 sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover25 for us to eat.”26 22:9 They27 said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare28 it?” 22:10 He said to them, “Listen,29 when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water30 will meet you.31 Follow him into the house that he enters, 22:11 and tell the owner of the house,32 ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’ 22:12 Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there.” 22:13 So33 they went and found things34 just as he had told them,35 and they prepared the Passover.
22:14 Now36 when the hour came, Jesus37 took his place at the table38 and the apostles joined39 him. 22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired40 to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 22:16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again41 until it is fulfilled42 in the kingdom of God.”43 22:17 Then44 he took a cup,45 and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. 22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit46 of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”47 22:19 Then48 he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body49 which is given for you.50 Do this in remembrance of me.” 22:20 And in the same way he took51 the cup after they had eaten,52 saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant53 in my blood.
22:21 “But look, the hand of the one who betrays54 me is with me on the table.55 22:22 For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined,56 but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 22:23 So57 they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.
22:24 A dispute also started58 among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.59 22:25 So60 Jesus61 said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’62 22:26 Not so with you;63 instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader64 like the one who serves.65 22:27 For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table,66 or the one who serves? Is it not67 the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one68 who serves.
22:28 “You are the ones who have remained69 with me in my trials. 22:29 Thus70 I grant71 to you a kingdom,72 just as my Father granted to me, 22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit73 on thrones judging74 the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 “Simon,75 Simon, pay attention!76 Satan has demanded to have you all,77 to sift you like wheat,78 22:32 but I have prayed for you, Simon,79 that your faith may not fail.80 When81 you have turned back,82 strengthen83 your brothers.” 22:33 But Peter84 said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”85 22:34 Jesus replied,86 “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow87 today until you have denied88 three times that you know me.”
22:35 Then89 Jesus90 said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag,91 or traveler’s bag,92 or sandals, you didn’t lack93 anything, did you?” They replied,94 “Nothing.” 22:36 He said to them, “But now, the one who95 has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag96 too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be97 fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’98 For what is written about me is being fulfilled.”99 22:38 So100 they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.”101 Then he told them, “It is enough.”102
