Luke 22:14-30

New American Standard Bible

The Lord’s Supper

^14 (A)When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and ^(B)the apostles with Him. ¹⁵ And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; ¹⁶ for I say to you, I shall not eat it again ^(C)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ^17 (D)And when He had taken a cup and ^(E)given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; ¹⁸ for ^(F)I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” ¹⁹ And when He had taken some bread and ^(G)given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁰ And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is ^(H)poured out for you, is the ^(I)new covenant in My blood. ^21 (J)But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with ^[a]Mine on the table. ²² For indeed, the Son of Man is going ^(K)as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” ²³ And they began to debate among themselves which one of them it was who was going to do this.

Who Is Greatest

²⁴ And ^(L)a dispute also developed among them as to which one of them was regarded as being the greatest. ^25 (M)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ ²⁶ But it is not this way for you; ^(N)rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like ^(O)the youngest, and the leader like the servant. ²⁷ For ^(P)who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But ^(Q)I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ “You are the ones who have stood by Me in My ^(R)trials; ²⁹ and just as My Father has granted Me a ^(S)kingdom, I grant you ³⁰ that you may ^(T)eat and drink at My table in My ^(U)kingdom, and ^(V)you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
