Luke 22:12-31

¹²He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there.”

¹³So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.

¹⁴When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.

¹⁵Then he said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

¹⁶For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves.

¹⁸For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

²⁰He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.

²²For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³They began to discuss among themselves which one of them it might be who would do this.

²⁴Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles are masters over them, and the ones who have authority over them are referred to as those who do good to their people.

²⁶But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest, and let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.

²⁷For who is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.

²⁸But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.

²⁹I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,

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

³¹Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
