Luke 22:31-38

Jesus warns Simon Peter about what will happen

31 Jesus then said, ‘Simon, Simon, listen to me! Satan has asked to have authority over you all. He will shake you as a farmer shakes seeds. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will continue to believe in me. And this is what you must do. When you have turned back to me, you must help your brothers to be strong again.’

33 But Simon Peter replied, ‘ Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you. I am even ready to die with you!’

34 Jesus said to him, ‘I tell you this, Peter. Very soon, you will say that you do not know me. You will say that three times before the cockerel sings early tomorrow morning.’

35 Jesus then asked the disciples, ‘When I sent you out without a purse, a bag or shoes, did you need anything?’

They replied, ‘No, we had everything that we needed.’

36 Jesus said to them, ‘Now it is different. If you have a purse or a bag, you should take it with you. If you do not have a sword, sell your coat. Use the money to buy one. 37 I tell you this. What is written in the Bible must happen to me. It says, “People will think that he is a wicked person.” And this must happen to me soon, so that it becomes true.’

38 The disciples said, ‘Look, Lord, we have two swords here.’

Jesus replied, ‘You have said enough.’
