Institution of the Lord's Supper

14 (A)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it[a] (B)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 And he took a cup, and (C)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 (D)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine (E)until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 (F)And he took bread, and (G)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, (H)“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, (I)“This cup that is poured out for you is (J)the new (K)covenant in my blood.[b] 21 (L)But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is (M)with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes (N)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 (O)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 (P)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles (Q)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 (R)But not so with you. Rather, let (S)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. 27 For who is the greater, (T)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But (U)I am among you as the one who serves.

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

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

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

How Great Are Your Works

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.

92 (A)It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to your name, (B)O Most High;
to declare your (C)steadfast love in (D)the morning,
    and your (E)faithfulness by (F)night,
to the music of (G)the lute and (H)the harp,
    to the melody of (I)the lyre.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your (J)work;
    at (K)the works of your hands I sing for joy.

How (L)great are your works, O Lord!
    Your (M)thoughts are very (N)deep!
The stupid man cannot know;
    the fool cannot understand this:
that though (O)the wicked sprout like grass
    and all (P)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
    but you, O Lord, are (Q)on high forever.
For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
    for behold, your enemies shall perish;
    all evildoers shall be (R)scattered.

10 But you have exalted my (S)horn like that of (T)the wild ox;
    you have (U)poured over me[a] fresh oil.
11 My (V)eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
    my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

12 (W)The righteous flourish like the palm tree
    and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;
    they flourish in (X)the courts of our God.
14 They still bear fruit in old age;
    they are ever full of sap and green,
15 (Y)to declare that the Lord is upright;
    he is my (Z)rock, and there is (AA)no unrighteousness in him.

The Lord Reigns

93 (AB)The Lord reigns; he is (AC)robed in majesty;
    the Lord is (AD)robed; he has (AE)put on strength as his belt.
(AF)Yes, the world is established; (AG)it shall never be moved.
(AH)Your throne is established from of old;
    (AI)you are from everlasting.

(AJ)The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
    mightier than the waves of the sea,
    (AK)the Lord (AL)on high is mighty!

Your (AM)decrees are very trustworthy;
    (AN)holiness befits your house,
    O Lord, forevermore.
