27. For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:
28. And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:
29. And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;
30. That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31. And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.
33. Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
34. And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:
35. When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you want anything?
36. But they said: Nothing. Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37. For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end.
