221While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a 2blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."
23
And when He had taken a cup and giventhanks, He gave it to them, and they alldrank from it.
24
And He said to them, "This is My 3blood of the 4covenant, which is poured out for many.
25
"Truly I say to you, I will never*againdrink of the fruit of the vineuntil that daywhen I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
26
5After singing a hymn, they went out to 6the Mount of Olives.
27
7And Jesussaid to them, "You will allfallaway, because it is written, '8I WILL STRIKEDOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'
28
"But after I have been raised, 9I will goahead of you to Galilee."
29
But Petersaid to Him, "Even thoughall may fallaway, yet I will not."
30
And Jesussaid to him, "Truly I say to you, that 10thisverynight, before11a roostercrowstwice, you yourself will deny Me threetimes."
31
But Peter kept sayinginsistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the samethingalso.
Jesus in Gethsemane
3212They came to a placenamedGethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sithereuntil I have prayed."
33
And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very13distressed and troubled.
34
And He said to them, "14My soul is deeplygrieved to the point of death; remainhere and keepwatch."
35
And He went a littlebeyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, 15the hour might pass Him by.
36
And He was saying, "16Abba! Father! Allthings are possible for You; removethiscup from Me; 17yet not what I will, but what You will."
37
And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keepwatch for onehour?
38
"18Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39
Again He wentaway and prayed, saying the samewords.
40
And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not knowwhat to answer Him.
41
And He came the thirdtime, and said to them, "Are you stillsleeping and resting? It is enough; 19the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42
"Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"
