25
And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called 'benefactors.'
26
But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.
27
For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.
28
But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials.
29
And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,
30
that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
31
And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
32
But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."
33
But he said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death."
34
Then He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."
35
And He said to them, "When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" So they said, "Nothing."
36
Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
37
For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: 'And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end."
38
So they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."
39
Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.
40
When He came to the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."
41
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
42
saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
43
Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
44
And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45
When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.
46
Then He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation."
47
And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.
48
But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49
When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
50
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51
But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him.
52
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
54
Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed at a distance.
55
Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
