A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus

51 When the days drew near for (A)him to be taken up, (B)he set his face (C)to go to Jerusalem. 52 And (D)he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of (E)the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But (F)the people did not receive him, because (G)his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell (H)fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”[a] 55 But he turned and rebuked them.[b] 56 And they went on to another village.

Samaritan Opposition

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven,(A) Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.(B) 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan(C) village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John(D) saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?”(E) 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

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

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

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, (N)Satan demanded to have you,[a] (O)that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but (P)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, (Q)strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter[b] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both (R)to prison and (S)to death.” 34 (T)Jesus[c] 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, (U)“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 (V)this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: (W)‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For (X)what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two (Y)swords.” And he said to them, (Z)“It is enough.”

22 The Son of Man(A) will go as it has been decreed.(B) But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.(C) 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest,(D) and the one who rules like the one who serves.(E) 27 For 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.(F) 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom,(G) just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom(H) and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(I)

34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals,(O) did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He 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. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[a];(P) and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”

“That’s enough!” he replied.
