Context
A Final Discourse
22:21 “But look , the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table .
22:22 For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined , but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed !”
22:23 So they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this .
22:24 A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest .
22:25 So Jesus said to them , “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them , and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors .’
22:26 Not so with you ; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest , and the leader like the one who serves .
22:27 For who is greater , the one who is seated at the table , or the one who serves ? Is it not the one who is seated at the table ? But I am among you as one who serves .
22:28 “You are the ones who have remained with me in my trials .
22:29 Thus I grant to you a kingdom , just as my Father granted to me ,
22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom , and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel .
22:31 “Simon , Simon , pay attention ! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat ,
22:32 but I have prayed for you , Simon, that your faith may not fail . When you have turned back , strengthen your brothers .”
22:33 But Peter said to him , “Lord , I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death !”
22:34 Jesus replied , “I tell you , Peter , the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me .”
22:35 Then Jesus said to them , “When I sent you out with no money bag , or traveler’s bag , or sandals , you didn’t lack anything , did you?” They replied , “Nothing .”
22:36 He said to them , “But now , the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me , ‘And he was counted with the transgressors .’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled .” fulfilled .”
22:38 So they said , “Look , Lord , here are two swords .” Then he told them , “It is enough .”
