Luke 22:21-30

English Standard Version

^21 (A)But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^(B)with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man goes ^(C)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 (D)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ^25 (E)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^(F)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. ^26 (G)But not so with you. Rather, let ^(H)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. ²⁷ For who is the greater, ^(I)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ^(J)I am among you as the one who serves.

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