22:24 Also a dispute arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
22:25 Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors.
22:26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.
22:27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
22:28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials.
22:29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me,
22:30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.
22:32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
22:33 But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."
22:34 Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."
22:35 Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered.
22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
22:37 It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
22:38 The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "That is enough," he replied.
