24. Then an argument broke out among them about which of them should be regarded as the greatest.
25. He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them and those in authority over them are addressed as ‘Benefactors’;
26. but among you it shall not be so. Rather, let the greatest among you be as the youngest, and the leader as the servant.
27. For who is greater: the one seated at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one seated at table? I am among you as the one who serves.
28. It is you who have stood by me in my trials;
29. and I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred one on me,
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.
31. “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat,
32. but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.”
33. He said to him, “Lord, I am prepared to go to prison and to die with you.”
34. But he replied, “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.”
35. He said to them, “When I sent you forth without a money bag or a sack or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.
36. He said to them, “But now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
37. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, namely, ‘He was counted among the wicked’; and indeed what is written about me is coming to fulfillment.”
38. Then they said, “Lord, look, there are two swords here.” But he replied, “It is enough!”
39. Then going out he went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40. When he arrived at the place he said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.”
41. After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed,
42. saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” [
