Matthew 26:25-35

25 Then Judas, the disciple who was betraying Him, asked, "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is you," He replied.

26 During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body."

27 And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

28 for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins--the blood which ratifies the Covenant.

29 I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."

30 So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

31 Then said Jesus, "This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written, `I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered in all directions.'

32 But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee."

33 "All may stumble and fail," said Peter, "but I never will."

34 "In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."

35 "Even if I must die with you," declared Peter, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested all the disciples.
