Luke 22:26-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. But that’s not the way it will be with you. Instead, the greatest among you must become like a person of lower status and the leader like a servant.

27. So which one is greater, the one who is seated at the table or the one who serves at the table? Isn’t it the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28. “You are the ones who have continued with me in my trials.

29. And I confer royal power on you just as my Father granted royal power to me.

30. Thus you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones overseeing the twelve tribes of Israel.

31. "Simon, Simon, look! Satan has asserted the right to sift you all like wheat.

32. However, I have prayed for you that your faith won’t fail. When you have returned, strengthen your brothers and sisters."

33. Peter responded, "Lord, I’m ready to go with you, both to prison and to death!"

34. Jesus replied, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster won’t crow today before you have denied three times that you know me."

35. Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out without a wallet, bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?" They said, "Nothing."
