Matthew 26:29-49

29 I tell you, I will not drink this `fruit of the vine' again until the day I drink new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."

30 After singing the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31 Yeshua then said to them, "Tonight you will all lose faith in me, as the Tanakh says, `I will strike the shepherd dead, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'

32 But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you into the Galil."

33 "I will never lose faith in you," Kefa answered, "even if everyone else does."

34 Yeshua said to him, "Yes! I tell you that tonight before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!"

35 "Even if I must die with you," Kefa replied, "I will never disown you!" And all the talmidim said the same thing.

36 Then Yeshua went with his talmidim to a place called Gat-Sh'manim and said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

37 He took with him Kefa and Zavdai's two sons. Grief and anguish came over him,

38 and he said to them, "My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake with me."

39 Going on a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, "My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet -- not what I want, but what you want!"

40 He returned to the talmidim and found them sleeping. He said to Kefa, "Were you so weak that you couldn't stay awake with me for even an hour?

41 Stay awake, and pray that you will not be put to the test -- the spirit indeed is eager, but human nature is weak."

42 A second time he went off and prayed. "My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, let what you want be done."

43 Again he returned and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy.

44 Leaving them again, he went off and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

45 Then he came to the talmidim and said, "For now, go on sleeping, take your rest. . . . Look! The time has come for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Get up! Let's go! Here comes my betrayer!"

47 While Yeshua was still speaking, Y'hudah (one of the Twelve!) came, and with him a large crowd carrying swords and clubs, from the head cohanim and elders of the people.

48 The betrayer had arranged to give them a signal: "The man I kiss is the one you want -- grab him!"

49 He went straight up to Yeshua, said, "Shalom, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
