22
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."
23
Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24
And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
25
Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
26
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27
Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'
28
"But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."
29
Peter said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be."
30
Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."
31
But he spoke more vehemently, "If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all said likewise.
32
Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
33
And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
34
Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
35
He went a little farther, 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 for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
37
Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39
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; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41
Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42
Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."
43
And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44
Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely."
45
As soon as He had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
46
Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him.
47
And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48
Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?
49
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."
50
Then they all forsook Him and fled.
51
Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,
52
and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
