Luke 22:29–46

29 I bestow on you a kingdom, t just as My Father bestowed one on Me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. u And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. v

Peter’s Denial Predicted

31 “Simon, Simon, w look out! Satan x has asked to sift you y like wheat. z 32 But I have prayed a for you b that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen c your brothers.”

33 “Lord,” d he told Him, “I’m ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”

34 “I tell you, Peter,” He said, “the rooster will not crow today until e you deny three times that you know Me!”

Be Ready for Trouble

35 He also said to them, “When I sent you out f without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

36 Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws. g h Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment.” i

38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

“Enough of that!” j He told them.

The Prayer in the Garden

39 He went out and made His way k as usual l to the * Mount of Olives, m and the disciples followed Him. 40 When He reached the place, n He told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” o 41 Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray, p 42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup q away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”

[43 Then an angel from heaven r appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 Being in anguish, s He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.] t 45 When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief. u 46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”
