Luke 22:27-33 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

27. Who do people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a servant.

28. You have stayed with me in all my troubles.

29. So I will give you the right to rule as kings, just as my Father has given me the right to rule as a king.

30. You will eat and drink with me in my kingdom, and you will each sit on a throne to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

31. Jesus said, “Simon, listen to me! Satan has demanded the right to test each one of you, as a farmer does when he separates wheat from the husks.

32. But Simon, I have prayed that your faith will be strong. And when you have come back to me, help the others.”

33. Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to jail and even to die with you.”
