The scriptures read are Deuteronomy 34, Psalm 64, and Luke 22.
Deuteronomy 34. God gives Moses a bird's eye view of the promised land, then Moses dies and God buries him. Nice tribute to him at the very end of the book.
Psalm 64. Slander and evil schemes aimed at the innocent will be repaid.
Luke 22. The Last Supper. For a discussion of the possible motivations behind Judas' betrayal see my sermon this Sunday.
Jesus' enigmatic talk about swords doesn't seem to be an endorsement of them since he undoes the slicing off of an ear with one.
Though the words are slightly different, once again it's Peter's being Galilean that triggers his last denial.
Luke doesn't mention the night trial, just the morning one. The result is the same: they are taking him to Pilate.
