Luke 22:12-31

¹²And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready.

¹³And they went and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.

¹⁴And when the hour had come, he placed himself at table, and the apostles with him.

¹⁵And he said to them, Earnestly have I desired to eat this passover with you, before I suffer.

¹⁶For I say to you, that I shall eat it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

¹⁸For I say to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall have come.

¹⁹And he took a loaf, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.

²¹But lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

²²For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.

²³And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that was about to do this.

²⁴And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

²⁵And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule as lords over them, and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

²⁶But it is not to be so with you; but let the greatest among you be as the youngest; and he that is chief, as he that serveth.

²⁷For which is greater? he who reclineth at the table, or he who serveth? Is not he that reclineth at the table? But I am in the midst of you as he who serveth.

²⁸Ye however are they who have continued steadfastly with me in my trials.

²⁹And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me;

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

³¹Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
