The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(14)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles
with him. (15)And he said to them: I earnestly desired to eat this
passover with you before I suffer. (16)For I say to you, I shall eat
of it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. (17)And
having received a cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this, and divide
it among yourselves. (18)For I say to you, I will not drink of the
fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
(19)And taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them,
saying: This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance
of me. (20)And the cup in like manner after supper, saying: This cup
is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.
(21)But, behold, the hand of him that betrays me is with me on the
table. (22)For the Son of man indeed goes, as it was determined; but
woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! (23)And they began to inquire
among themselves, who then it might be that should do this thing?
(24)And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest. (25)And he said to them: The kings of the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they who exercise authority
over them are called benefactors. (26)But ye are not so; but let the
greatest among you become as the younger, and he that is chief as he
that serves. (27)For which is greater, he that reclines at table, or
he that serves? Is not he that reclines at table? But I am in the
midst of you as he that serves. (28)Ye are they who have continued
with me in my temptations; (29)and I appoint to you a kingdom, as my
Father appointed to me, (30)that ye may eat and drink at my table in
my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel.
(31)And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for you, to
sift as the wheat. (32)But I prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not;
and thou, when thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.
(33)And he said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both to
prison and to death. (34)And he said: I say to thee, Peter, a cock
will not crow this day, till thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest
me.
(35)And he said to them: When I sent you without purse, and bag, and
sandals, lacked ye anything? And they said: Nothing. (36)Therefore
said he to them: But now, he that has a purse let him take it, and
likewise a bag; and he that has not, let him sell his garment and buy
a sword. (37)For I say to you, that yet this which is written must be
accomplished in me: And he was reckoned among transgressors; for the
things concerning me have an end[22:37].
(38)And they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said: It
is enough!
