Blood of the new testament. . .As the old testament was dedicated with the blood of victims, by Moses, in these words: This is the blood of the testament, etc., Heb. 9. 20; so here is the dedication and institution of the new testament, in the blood of Christ, here mystically shed by these words: This is the blood of the new testament, etc. 26:29. And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father. Fruit of the vine. . .These words, by the account of St. Luke 26:22. 18, were not spoken of the sacramental cup, but of the wine that was drunk with the paschal lamb. Though the sacramental cup might also be called the fruit of the vine, because it was consecrated from wine, and retains the likeness, and all the accidents or qualities of wine. 26:30. And a hymn being said, they went out unto mount Olivet. 26:31. Then Jesus saith to them: All you shall be scandalized in me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd: and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed. Scandalized in me, etc. . .Forasmuch as my being apprehended shall make you all run away and forsake me. 26:32. But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 26:33. And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. 26:34. Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. 26:35. Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples. 26:36. Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. 26:37. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad. 26:38. Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch with me. 26:39. And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt. 26:40. And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? 26:41. Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 26:42. Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. 26:43. And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. 26:44. And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word. 26:45. Then he cometh to his disciples and said to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
