026:019 The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they
prepared the Passover.
026:020 Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table
with the twelve disciples.
026:021 As they were eating, he said, "Most certainly I tell you
that one of you will betray me."
026:022 They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him,
"It isn't me, is it, Lord?"
026:023 He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish,
the same will betray me.
026:024 The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe
to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
026:025 Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It isn't me,
is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
026:026 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for{TR
reads "blessed" instead of "gave thanks for"} it, and broke it.
He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
026:027 He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of
you drink it,
026:028 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured
out for many for the remission of sins.
026:029 But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine
from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you
in my Father's Kingdom."
026:030 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
026:031 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because
of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'{Zechariah 13:7}
026:032 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
026:033 But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble
because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
026:034 Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you that tonight,
before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
026:035 Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not
deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
026:036 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said
to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
026:037 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began
to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
026:038 Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful,
even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
026:039 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying,
"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me;
nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
026:040 He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said
to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?
026:041 Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
