Luke 22:27-32 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

27. "Who is more important? Is it the one at the table, or the one who serves? Isn't it the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

28. You have stood by me during my troubles.

29. And I give you a kingdom, just as my Father gave me a kingdom.

30. Then you will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

31. "Simon, Simon! Satan has asked to sift you disciples like wheat.

32. But I have prayed for you, Simon. I have prayed that your faith will not fail. When you have turned back, help your brothers to be strong."
