Matthew 26:20-46

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁰ And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.

²¹ And as they ate, He said, “Truly I say to you that one of you shall betray Me.”

²² And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each one of them began to say to Him, “Is it me, Master!?”

²³ And He answered and said, “The one who has dipped his hand in the dish with Me, he shall betray Me.

²⁴ “Surely the Son of Man goes his way, as it is written of Him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for that man if he had never been born.”

²⁵ Then Judas (who betrayed Him) answered, and said, “Is it me, Master?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

²⁶ And as they ate, Jesus took the bread. And when He had blessed it, He broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take. Eat. This is My body.”

²⁷ Also He took the cup. And when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink all of it.

²⁸ “For this is My blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.

²⁹ “I say to you that I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again until that Day when I shall drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom.”

³⁰ And when they had sung a Psalm, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

³¹ Then said Jesus to them, “All of you will fall away from Me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’

³² “But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.”

³³ But Peter answered, and said to Him, “Even if all should fall away from You, I will never fall away.”

³⁴ Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.

³⁵ Peter said to Him, “Even if I should die with You, I would in no way deny You!” And so also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then Jesus went with them into a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here, while I go and pray over there.”

³⁷ And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him; and began to be sorrowful, and greatly distressed.

³⁸ Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very heavy, even to the death. Wait here, and watch with Me.”

³⁹ So He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father. If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

⁴⁰ Afterward, He came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, “What?! Could you not watch with Me one hour?!

⁴¹ “Watch, and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed ready, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² Again He went away a second time, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father! If this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

⁴³ And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ So He left them, and went away again, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Still sleeping, and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand. And the Son of Man is given into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ “Rise. Let us go. Behold, the one who betrays Me is here.”
