Luke 22:14-30
1599 Geneva Bible
14 (A)[a]And when the [b]hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve Apostles with him.
15 Then he said unto them, I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you, before I [c]suffer.
16 For I say unto you, Henceforth I will not eat of it anymore, until it be fulfilleth in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among you:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God be come.
19 (B)[d]And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in the remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also after supper he took the cup, saying, This [e]cup is [f]that new Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 (C)[g]Yet behold, the [h]hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.
22 [i]And truly the Son of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man by whom he is betrayed.
23 Then they began to inquire among themselves which of them it should be, that should do that.
24 ¶ (D)[j]And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seem to be the greatest.
25 But he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles reign over them, and they that bear rule over them, are called [k]bountiful.
26 But ye shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serveth.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serveth.
28 [l]And ye are they which have continued with me in my tentations.
29 Therefore I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me,
30 (E)That ye may eat, and drink at my table, in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
