Luke 22:22-32

22 For the Son of Man goes ¹as 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 ²A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

25 ³And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles ⁴exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

26 ⁵But not so with you. Rather, let ⁶the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

27 For who is the greater, ⁷one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ⁸I am among you as the one who serves.

28 "You are those who have stayed with me ⁹in my trials,

29 and ¹⁰I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,

30 ¹¹that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ¹²sit on thrones judging ¹³the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, ¹⁴Satan demanded to have you,^[a]15that he might sift you like wheat,

32 but ¹⁶I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, ¹⁷strengthen your brothers."
