A Final Discourse

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
