²⁶ Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, ^[a]praising God, gave thanks and asked Him to bless it to their use, and when He had broken it, He gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body.

²⁷ And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you;

²⁸ For this is My blood of the new covenant, which [^[b]ratifies the agreement and] is ^[c]being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.^(A)

²⁹ I say to you, I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you new and ^[d]of superior quality in My Father’s kingdom.

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

³¹ Then Jesus said to them, You will all be offended and stumble and fall away because of Me this night [distrusting and deserting Me], for it is written, I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.^(B)

³² But after I am raised up [to life again], I will go ahead of you to Galilee.

³³ Peter declared to Him, Though they all are offended and stumble and fall away because of You [and distrust and desert You], I will never do so.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Solemnly I declare to you, this very night, before a ^[e]single rooster crows, you will deny and disown Me three times.

³⁵ Peter said to Him, Even if I must die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And all the disciples said the same thing.

37 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two cubits and a half was the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

² He overlaid it with pure gold within and without and made a molding or crown of gold to go around the top of it.

³ He cast four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on either side.

⁴ He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

⁵ He put the poles through the rings at the sides of the ark to carry it.

⁶ [Bezalel] made the mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length and one cubit and a half its breadth.

⁷ And he made two cherubim of beaten gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them,

⁸ One cherub at one end and one at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim at its two ends.

⁹ And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces to each other, looking down to the mercy seat.^(A)

¹⁰ Bezalel made the [showbread] table of acacia wood; it was two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

¹¹ He overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold around its top.

¹² And he made a border around it [just under the top] a handbreadth wide, and a molding of gold around the border.

¹³ And he cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.

¹⁴ Close to the border were the rings, the places for the poles to pass through to carry the [showbread] table.

¹⁵ [Bezalel] made the poles of acacia wood to carry the [showbread] table and overlaid them with gold.

¹⁶ He made of pure gold the vessels which were to be on the table, its plates and dishes [for bread], its bowls and flagons for pouring [liquid sacrifices].

¹⁷ And he made the lampstand of pure gold; its base and shaft were made of hammered work; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

¹⁸ There were six branches going out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches out of one side of it and three branches out of the other side of it;

¹⁹ Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the [opposite] branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower; and so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

²⁰ On [the shaft of] the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, with knobs and flowers [one at the top].

²¹ And a knob under each pair of branches, of one piece with the lampstand, for the six branches going out of it.

²² Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it hammered work of pure gold.

²³ And he made of pure gold its seven lamps, its snuffers, and its ashtrays.

²⁴ Of a talent of pure gold he made the lampstand and all its utensils.^(B)

²⁵ And [Bezalel] made the incense altar of acacia wood; its top was a cubit square and it was two cubits high; the horns were one piece with it.

²⁶ He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides round about, and its horns; also he made a rim around it of gold.

²⁷ And he made two rings of gold for it under its rim, on its two opposite sides, as places for the poles [to pass through] to carry it.

²⁸ And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹ He also made the holy anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit] and the pure, fragrant incense, after the perfumer’s art.
