Luke 22:19-52

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.

³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. And do thou, when thou hast returned to me, strengthen thy brethren.

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

³⁴And he said, I tell thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou hast thrice denied that thou knowest me.

³⁵And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, or bag, or sandals, were ye in need of anything? And they said, Of nothing. Then he said to them,

³⁶But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.

³⁷For I say to you, that this which is written must be accomplished in me: “And he was reckoned among transgressors.” For that which concerneth me also hath an end.

³⁸And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to him, It is enough!

³⁹And going out, he went, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that ye may not enter into temptation.

⁴¹And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw; and kneeling down he prayed,

⁴²saying, Father, if thou art willing to remove this cup from me—yet not my will, but thine be done!

⁴³And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.

⁴⁵And rising up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶and said to them, Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray that ye may not enter into temptation.

⁴⁷While he was yet speaking, lo! a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, was at the head of them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵⁰And one of them smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹But Jesus answering said, Permit thus far; and touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵²Then Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders who had come to him, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs;
