- When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
- And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
- For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
- After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you.
- For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
|
- And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."
- In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
- But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
- The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him."
- They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.
|
- Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
- Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
- But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
- For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
- You are those who have stood by me in my trials.
|
- And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
- so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
- "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.
- But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
- But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
|
- Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."
