Luke 22:29-49

29 Just as my Father gave me the right to rule, so I give you an appointment,
30 namely, to eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom and to sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Isra'el.
31 "Shim`on, Shim`on, listen! The Adversary demanded to have you people for himself, to sift you like wheat!
32 But I prayed for you, Shim`on, that your trust might not fail. And you, once you have turned back in repentance, strengthen your brothers!"
33 Shim`on said to him, "Lord, I am prepared to go with you both to prison and to death!"
34 Yeshua replied, "I tell you, Kefa, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me."
35 He said to them, "When I sent you out without wallet, pack or shoes, were you ever short of anything?" "Not a thing," they answered.
36 "But now," he said, if you have a wallet or a pack, take it; and if you don't have a sword, sell your robe to buy one.
37 For I tell you this: the passage from the Tanakh that says, `He was counted with transgressors,'i has to be fulfilled in me; since what is happening to me has a purpose."
38 They said, "Look, Lord, there are two swords right here!" "Enough!" he replied.
39 On leaving, Yeshua went as usual to the Mount of Olives; and the talmidim followed him.
40 When he arrived, he said to them, "Pray that you won't be put to the test."
41 He went about a stone's throw away from them, kneeled down and prayed,
42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, let not my will but yours be done."
43 There appeared to him an angel from heaven giving him strength,
44 and in great anguish he prayed more intensely, so that his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 On rising from prayer and coming to the talmidim, he found them sleeping because of their grief.
46 He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you won't be put to the test!"
47 While he was still speaking, a crowd of people arrived, with the man called Y'hudah (one of the Twelve!) leading them. He came up to Yeshua to kiss him,
48 but Yeshua said to him, "Y'hudah, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 When his followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we use our swords?"
