Luke 22:19-39

English Standard Version

^19 (A)And he took bread, and ^(B)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(C)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(D)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(E)the new ^(F)covenant in my blood.^{[a] 21 (G)}But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^(H)with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man goes ^(I)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” ²³ And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

^24 (J)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ^25 (K)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^(L)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. ^26 (M)But not so with you. Rather, let ^(N)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. ²⁷ For who is the greater, ^(O)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ^(P)I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ “You are those who have stayed with me ^(Q)in my trials, ²⁹ and ^(R)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, ^30 (S)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ^(T)sit on thrones judging ^(U)the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³¹ “Simon, Simon, behold, ^(V)Satan demanded to have you,^{[b] (W)}that he might sift you like wheat, ³² but ^(X)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ^(Y)strengthen your brothers.” ³³ Peter^[c] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both ^(Z)to prison and ^(AA)to death.” ^34 (AB)Jesus^[d] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

³⁵ And he said to them, ^(AC)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” ³⁶ He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. ³⁷ For I tell you that ^(AD)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ^(AE)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For ^(AF)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” ³⁸ And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two ^(AG)swords.” And he said to them, ^(AH)“It is enough.”

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
