Then a dispute also arose among them about who should be considered the greatest.^(ab)

But He said to them,^(ac) "The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have authority over them are called^[d] ‘Benefactors.'^[e]

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever is greatest among you must become like the youngest,^(ad) and whoever leads, like the one serving.

For who is greater, the one at the table or the one serving? Isn't it the one at the table? But I am among you as the One who serves. ^(ae)

You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials. ^(af)

I bestow on you a kingdom,^(ag) just as My Father bestowed one on Me,

so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom.^(ah) And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. ^(ai)

"Simon, Simon,^[f] look out! Satan^(aj) has asked to sift you^[g] like wheat. ^(ak)

But I have prayed^(al) for you^[h] that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen^(am) your brothers."

"Lord,"^(an) he told Him, "I'm ready to go with You both to prison and to death!"

"I tell you, Peter," He said, "the rooster will not crow today until^[i] you deny three times that you know Me!"

He also said to them, "When I sent you out^(ao) without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Not a thing," they said.

Then He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn't have a sword should sell his robe and buy one.

For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in Me: And He was counted among the outlaws. ^(ap)[j] Yes, what is written about Me is coming to its fulfillment." ^(aq)

"Lord," they said, "look, here are two swords." "Enough of that!" ^[k] He told them.

He went out and made His way^(ar) as usual^(as) to the Mount of Olives,^(at) and the disciples followed Him.

When He reached the place,^(au) He told them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." ^(av)

Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray,^(aw)

"Father, if You are willing, take this cup^(ax) away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done."

[Then an angel from heaven^(ay) appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

Being in anguish,^(az) He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.]^[l]

When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.^[m]

"Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation."
