Luk 22:21-38 | ESV | STEP | But behold , the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table .

21 ^aBut behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^bwith me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes ^cas it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” 23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

24 ^dA dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25 ^eAnd he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^fexercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 ^gBut not so with you.

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that ^aathis Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ^ab‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For ^acwhat is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two ^adswords.” And he said to them, ^ae“It is enough.”
