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.”

34. Jesus replied, “Peter, I tell you that before a cock crows tomorrow morning, you will say three times that you don't know me.”

35. Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out without a money bag or a travelling bag or sandals, did you need anything?”“No!” they answered.

36. Jesus told them, “But now, if you have a money bag, take it with you. Also take a travelling bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell some of your clothes and buy one.

37. Do this because the Scriptures say, ‘He was considered a criminal.’ This was written about me, and it will soon come true.”

38. The disciples said, “Lord, here are two swords!”“Enough of that!” Jesus replied.
