Luke 22:11-32

¹¹and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat?

¹²and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there make ready;'

¹³and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him,

¹⁵and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

¹⁶for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.'

¹⁷And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said, 'Take this and divide to yourselves,

¹⁸for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.'

¹⁹And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, 'This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye — to remembrance of me.'

²⁰In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth.

²¹'But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table,

²²and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'

²³And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

²⁴And there happened also a strife among them — who of them is accounted to be greater.

²⁵And he said to them, 'The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors;

²⁶but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you — let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering;

²⁷for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I — I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

²⁸'And ye — ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

³¹And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

³²and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'
