52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature¹ and in favor with God and man.

29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ^bsit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 ^c“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you,¹ that he might ^dsift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And ^ewhen you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter² said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus³ said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

35 And he said to them, ^f“When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ^g‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two ^hswords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

39 ⁱAnd he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him an ^jangel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in agony he prayed more ^kearnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.⁴
