17
And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.
18
And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me.
19
But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is it I?
20
Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish.
21
And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born.
22
And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body.
23
And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.
24
And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.
25
Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26
And when they had sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives.
27
And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed.
