Luke 22 — Context

31

Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested:

32

But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

33

And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

34

And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

35

And he said to them, When I sent you out without money or bag or shoes, were you in need of anything? And they said, Nothing.

36

And he said to them, But now, he who has a money-bag, or a bag for food, let him take it: and he who has not, let him give his coat for money and get a sword.

37

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.
