Luke 22:26-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. But it must not be so with you. Instead, whoever is greater among you, let him become the lesser. And whoever is the leader, let him become the server.

27. For who is greater: he who sits at table, or he who serves? Is not he who sits at table? Yet I am in your midst as one who serves.

28. But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.

29. And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,

30. so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

31. And the Lord said: "Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.

32. But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers."

33. And he said to him, "Lord, I am prepared to go with you, even to prison and to death."

34. And he said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you have three times denied that you know me." And he said to them,

35. "When I sent you without money or provisions or shoes, did you lack anything?"

36. And they said, "Nothing." Then he said to them: "But now, let whoever has money take it, and likewise with provisions. And whoever does not have these, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.

37. For I say to you, that what has been written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was esteemed with the wicked.' Yet even these things about me have an end."

38. So they said, "Lord, behold, there are two swords here." But he said to them, "It is sufficient."

39. And departing, he went out, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.

40. And when he had arrived at the place, he said to them: "Pray, lest you enter into temptation."
