Luke 22:7-38
========================
7Then came the day of
Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8Jesus sent Peter and John,
saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9“Where do you want us to
prepare for it?” they asked.
10He replied, “As you enter
the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house
that he enters,
11and say to the owner of the
house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?’
12He will show you a large
room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
13They left and found things
just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14When the hour came, Jesus
and his apostles reclined at the table.
15And he said to them, “I
have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16For I tell you, I will not
eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the
17After taking the cup, he
gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.
18For I tell you I will not
drink again from the fruit of the vine until the
19And he took bread, gave
thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for
you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20In the same way, after the
supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
which is poured out for you.
21But the hand of him who is
going to betray me is with mine on the table.
22The Son of Man will go as
it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!”
23They began to question
among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
24A dispute also arose among
them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
25Jesus said to them, “The
kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over
them call themselves Benefactors.
26But you are not to be like
that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one
who rules like the one who serves.
27For who is greater, the one
who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the
table? But I am among you as one who serves.
28You are those who have
stood by me in my trials.
29And I confer on you a
kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
30so that you may eat and
drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of
31“Simon, Simon, Satan has
asked to sift all of you as wheat.
32But I have prayed for you,
Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen
your brothers.”
33But he replied, “Lord, I am
ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34Jesus answered, “I tell
you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you
know me.”
35Then Jesus asked them,
“When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36He said to them, “But now
if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword,
sell your cloak and buy one.
37It is written: ‘And he was
numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in
me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38The disciples said, “See,
Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied.
