Luke 22:14-38
The Lord’s Supper
22:14 Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined him.
22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
22:16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
22:17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
22:19 Then he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
22:20 And in the same way he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
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.”
22:38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”
