The Lord’s Supper Instituted

26 (A)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and [a](B)after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; 28 for (C)this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for (D)many for forgiveness of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 (E)And after singing a [b]hymn, they went out to (F)the Mount of Olives.

31 Then Jesus *said to them, “You will all [c](G)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘(H)I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be (I)scattered.’ 32 But after I have been raised, (J)I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33 But Peter replied to Him, “Even if they all [d]fall away because of You, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, (K)Truly I say to you that (L)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35 Peter *said to Him, “(M)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” All the disciples said the same thing as well.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(G)

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(H) for it is written:

“‘I will strike the shepherd,
    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[b](I)

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(J)
