Luke 22:15-40

¹⁵And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

¹⁶For I say to you, I will not take it till it is made complete in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷And he took a cup and, having given praise, he said, Make division of this among yourselves;

¹⁸For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

¹⁹And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁰And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

²¹But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

²²For it will be done to the Son of man after the purpose of God, but unhappy is that man by whom he is given up.

²³And they were wondering among themselves which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

²⁵And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

²⁶But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

²⁷For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

²⁸But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

²⁹And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

³⁰So that you may take food and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated like kings, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³¹Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

³²But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

³³And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

³⁴And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

³⁵And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

³⁶And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

³⁷For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

³⁸And they said, Lord, here are two swords. And he said, It is enough.

³⁹And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

⁴⁰And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.
