22
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, blessing it, broke
it and gave to them and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23
And taking the cup, having given thanks, he gave
it to them; and they all drank of it.
24
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26
And when they had sung the hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27
Then Jesus said unto them, All ye shall be scandalized in me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
28
But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29
Then Peter said unto him, Although all be scandalized, yet I
will not.
30
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day,
even in this night, before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny me three times.
31
But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said the others.
32
And they come to the place which is named Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, Sit ye here while I pray.
33
And he takes with him Peter and James and John and began to be alarmed and to be anguished
34
and said unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here, and watch.
35
And he went forward a little and fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
36
And he said, Abba, Father, all things
are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me; nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37
And he came and found them sleeping and said unto Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Could thou not watch one hour?
38
Watch ye and pray; enter not into temptation. The spirit truly
is ready, but the flesh
is sick.
39
And again he went away and prayed and spoke the same words.
40
And when he returned, he found them asleep again (for their eyes were heavy), nor did they know what to answer him.
41
And he came the third time and said unto them, Sleep on now and rest; it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into
the hands of the sinners.
42
Rise up, let us go; behold, he that betrays me is at hand.
