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.
