Luke 22:21–46
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.”
Christ Predicts Coming Conflict
35 iAnd He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”
So they said, “Nothing.”
36 Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. 37 For I say to you that this which is written must still be 5accomplished in Me: j‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”
38 So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”
And He said to them, “It is enough.”
Matt. 26:36–46; Mark 14:32–42; John 18:1
39 kComing out, lHe went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 mWhen He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 nAnd He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless onot My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 6Then pan angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 qAnd being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why rdo you sleep? Rise and spray, lest you enter into temptation.”
