Luke 22:28–38

²⁸“You have stayed with me through my struggles. ²⁹Just as my Father has given me a kingdom, I also give you a kingdom ³⁰so you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Don’t Lose Your Faith!

³¹“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to test all of you as a farmer sifts his wheat. ³²I have prayed that you will not lose your faith! Help your brothers be stronger when you come back to me.”

³³But Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and even to die with you!”

³⁴But Jesus said, “Peter, before the rooster crows this day, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”

Be Ready for Trouble

³⁵Then Jesus said to the apostles, “When I sent you out without a purse, a bag, or sandals, did you need anything?”

They said, “No.”

³⁶He said to them, “But now if you have a purse or a bag, carry that with you. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. ³⁷The Scripture says, ‘He was treated like a criminal,’ ⁿ and I tell you this scripture must have its full meaning. It was written about me, and it is happening now.”

³⁸His followers said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.”

He said to them, “That is enough.”
