Institution of the Lord's Supper

^22 (A)And as they were eating, he took bread, and after ^(B)blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; ^(C)this is my body.” ²³ And he took a cup, and when he had ^(D)given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. ²⁴ And he said to them, ^(E)“This is my ^(F)blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for ^(G)many. ²⁵ Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

^26 (H)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(I)they went out to ^(J)the Mount of Olives. ²⁷ And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will ^(K)strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ²⁸ But after I am raised up, ^(L)I will go before you to Galilee.” ^29 (M)Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” ³⁰ And ^(N)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before ^(O)the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” ³¹ But ^(P)he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
