Luke 22:14-35

English Standard Version

Institution of the Lord's Supper

^14 (A)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I tell you I will not eat it^{[a] (B)}until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷ And he took a cup, and ^(C)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ^18 (D)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ^(E)until the kingdom of God comes.” ^19 (F)And he took bread, and ^(G)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(H)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(I)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(J)the new ^(K)covenant in my blood.^{[b] 21 (L)}But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^(M)with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man goes ^(N)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” ²³ And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

^24 (O)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ^25 (P)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^(Q)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. ^26 (R)But not so with you. Rather, let ^(S)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. ²⁷ For who is the greater, ^(T)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ^(U)I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ “You are those who have stayed with me ^(V)in my trials, ²⁹ and ^(W)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, ^30 (X)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ^(Y)sit on thrones judging ^(Z)the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

³¹ “Simon, Simon, behold, ^(AA)Satan demanded to have you,^{[c] (AB)}that he might sift you like wheat, ³² but ^(AC)I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ^(AD)strengthen your brothers.” ³³ Peter^[d] said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both ^(AE)to prison and ^(AF)to death.” ^34 (AG)Jesus^[e] said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

³⁵ And he said to them, ^(AH)“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”
