Luke 22:20-30

20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ¹“This cup that is poured out for you is ²the new ³covenant in my blood. ^[a]

21 ⁴But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ⁵with me on the table.

22 For the Son of Man goes ⁶as 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 ⁷A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25 ⁸And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ⁹exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

26 ¹⁰But not so with you. Rather, let ¹¹the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

27 For who is the greater, ¹²one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ¹³I am among you as the one who serves.

28 “You are those who have stayed with me ¹⁴in my trials,

29 and ¹⁵I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,

30 ¹⁶that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ¹⁷sit on thrones judging ¹⁸the twelve tribes of Israel.
