Luke 22:21-38

Evangelical Heritage Version

One Will Betray Jesus

²¹ “But look, the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. ²² The Son of Man is going to go as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to discuss with one another which of them it was who was going to do this.

Who Is Greatest?

²⁴ A dispute arose among the disciples about which of them was considered to be greatest. ²⁵ But he told them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called Benefactors. ²⁶ But it is not to be that way with you. Instead, let the greatest among you become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. ²⁷ For who is greater, one who reclines at the table or one who serves? Isn’t it the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. ²⁸ You are those who have remained with me in my trials. ²⁹ I am going to grant a kingdom to you, just as my Father granted to me, ³⁰ so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³¹ The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, pay attention: Satan has asked to have you all, so that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have returned to me, strengthen your brothers.”

³³ He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴ But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you deny three times that you know me.”

³⁵ He said to them, “When I sent you out without money bag, traveler’s bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they said.

³⁶ Then he told them, “But now, let the one who has a money bag take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. ³⁷ For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’^[a] Indeed, what is written about me is going to have its fulfillment.”

³⁸ They said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”

He said to them, “That is enough.”
