Luke:22:7-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The day of unleavened bread came ,
on which the Passover must be sacrificed .
*
He sent Peter and John ,
saying , "
Go and prepare the Passover for us ,
that we may eat ."
*
They said to him , "
Where do you want us to prepare ?"
*
He said to them , "
Behold ,
when you have entered into the city ,
a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you .
Follow him into the house which he enters .
*
Tell the master of the house , '
The Teacher says to you , "
Where is the guest room ,
where I may eat the Passover with my disciples ?"'
*
He will show you a large ,
furnished upper room .
Make preparations there ."
*
They went ,
found things as he had told them ,
and they prepared the Passover .
*
When the hour had come ,
he sat down with the twelve apostles .
*
He said to them , "
I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer ,
*
for I tell you ,
I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God ."
*
He received a cup ,
and when he had given thanks ,
he said , "
Take this ,
and share it among yourselves ,
*
for I tell you ,
I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine ,
until the Kingdom of God comes ."
*
He took bread ,
and when he had given thanks ,
he broke it ,
and gave to them ,
saying , "
This is my body which is given for you .
Do this in memory of me ."
*
Likewise ,
he took the cup after supper ,
saying , "
This cup is the new covenant in my blood ,
which is poured out for you .
*
But behold ,
the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table .
*
The Son of Man indeed goes ,
as it has been determined ,
but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed !"
*
They began to question among themselves ,
which of them it was who would do this thing .
*
There arose also a contention among them ,
which of them was considered to be greatest .
*
He said to them , "
The kings of the nations lord it over them ,
and those who have authority over them are called '
benefactors .'
*
But not so with you .
But one who is the greater among you ,
let him become as the younger ,
and one who is governing ,
as one who serves .
*
For who is greater ,
one who sits at the table ,
or one who serves ?
Isn '
t it he who sits at the table ?
But I am in the midst of you as one who serves .
*
But you are those who have continued with me in my trials .
*
I confer on you a kingdom ,
even as my Father conferred on me ,
*
that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom .
You will sit on thrones ,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel ."
*
The Lord said , "
Simon ,
Simon ,
behold ,
Satan asked to have you ,
that he might sift you as wheat ,
*
but I prayed for you ,
that your faith wouldn '
t fail .
You ,
when once you have turned again ,
establish your brothers {
The word for "
brothers "
here may be also correctly translated "
brothers and sisters "
or "
siblings ."}."
*
He said to him , "
Lord ,
I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death !"
*
He said , "
I tell you ,
Peter ,
the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times ."
*
He said to them , "
When I sent you out without purse ,
and wallet ,
and shoes ,
did you lack anything ?"
They said , "
Nothing ."
*
Then he said to them , "
But now ,
whoever has a purse ,
let him take it ,
and likewise a wallet .
Whoever has none ,
let him sell his cloak ,
and buy a sword .
*
For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me : '
He was counted with transgressors .' {
Isaiah strkjv @
53:12 }
For that which concerns me has an end ."
*
They said , "
Lord ,
behold ,
here are two swords ."
He said to them , "
That is enough ."
