Bible. Luke
22:21. But yet behold: the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
the table.
22:22. And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is
determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.
22:23. And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was
that should do this thing.
22:24. And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should
seem to be the greater.
22:25. And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them;
and they that have power over them are called beneficent.
22:26. But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him
become as the younger: and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.
22:27. For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that
serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you,
as he that serveth.
22:28. And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
22:29. And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a
kingdom;
22:30. That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may
sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31. And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to
have you, that he may sift you as wheat.
22:32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou,
being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
22:33. Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into
prison and to death.
22:34. And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this
day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
22:35. When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want
anything?
22:36. But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that
hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath
not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword.
22:37. For I say to you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled
in me. And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me
have an end.
22:38. But they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to
them: It is enough.
22:39. And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of
Olives. And his disciples also followed him.
22:40. And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye
enter into temptation.
22:41. And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast. And kneeling
down, he prayed.
22:42. Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but
yet not my will, but thine be done.
22:43. And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening
him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.
22:44. And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the
ground.
22:45. And when he rose up from prayer and was come to the disciples, he
found them sleeping for sorrow.
22:46. And he said to them: Why sleep you? Arise: pray: lest you enter
into temptation.
