Luke 22:19-52

¹⁹And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

²⁰Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

²¹Nevertheless behold, the hand of him that betrays Me is with Me on the table.

²²And indeed the Son of Man goes according to what is determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

²³Then they began to discuss with one another, which of them might be the one who was about to do this.

²⁴And there arose also a dispute among them, as to which one of them was the greatest.

²⁵But He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶But it is not this way with you; let the greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as he who serves.

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

²⁸“Now you are those who have remained with Me in My trials.

²⁹And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,

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

³¹And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

³²But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

³³But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

³⁴Then He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

³⁵And He said to them, “When I sent you without a money bag, and a knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise also a knapsack; and he who has no sword shall sell his garment and buy one.

³⁷For I say to you that this which has been written must still be accomplished in Me—the saying, ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have a fulfillment.”

³⁸So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹And going out, He went to the Mount of Olives, according to His custom, and His disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴¹And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,

⁴²saying, “Father, if You will, remove this cup from Me—nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

⁴³Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴And being in agony, He prayed more fervently. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down onto the ground.

⁴⁵And rising up from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

⁴⁶Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise up and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷And while He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

⁴⁹And those around Him, seeing what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

⁵⁰And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus answered and said, “Stop right there.” And touching his ear, He healed him.

⁵²Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a bandit, with swords and clubs?
