17
When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.
18
While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, "What I'm about to tell you is true. One of you who is eating with me will hand me over to my enemies."
19
The disciples became sad. One by one they said to him, "It's not I, is it?"
20
"It is one of the Twelve," Jesus replied. "It is the one who dips bread into the bowl with me.
21
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But how terrible it will be for the one who hands over the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."
22
While they were eating, Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to his disciples and said, "Take it. This is my body."
23
Then he took the cup. He gave thanks and handed it to them. All of them drank from it.
24
"This is my blood of the new covenant," he said to them. "It is poured out for many.
25
What I'm about to tell you is true. I won't drink wine with you again until the day I drink it in God's kingdom."
26
Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Says That Peter Will Fail
27 "You will all turn away," Jesus told the disciples. "It is written, " 'I will strike the shepherd down. Then the sheep will be scattered.' (Zechariah 13:7)
