Matthew 26:28-38

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 But I say unto you, I will not * drink henceforth * of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

30 And when they had sung an hymn , they went out into the mount of Olives.

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me * this night: for it is written , I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad .

32 But after I am risen again , I will go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended .

34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this * night, before the cock crow , thou shalt deny me thrice.

35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy .

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
