Luke 22:24-42 New English Translation (NET)

24. A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25. So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26. Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.

27. For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

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

29. Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father granted to 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, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,

32. but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33. But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

34. Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”

35. Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler’s bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” They replied, “Nothing.”

36. He said to them, “But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.

37. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled.”

38. So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”

39. Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

40. When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

41. He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed,

42. “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.” [
