Old/New Testament

²⁶ As they were eating, Jesus took bread and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is my body. ²⁷ And he took the cup, and thanked, and gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, everyone. 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, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

³⁰ And when they had sung praises, they went out to the Mount of Olives. ³¹ Then Jesus said to them, You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered abroad. ³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

³³ Peter answered and said to him, Even if everyone were to fall away because of you, yet I would never fall away. ³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this same night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. ³⁵ Peter said to him, If I had to die with you, yet I would not deny you. Likewise also said all the disciples.

³⁶ Then Jesus went with them to a place which is called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, Sit here while I go and pray yonder. ³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful, and to be in an agony. ³⁸ Then said Jesus to them, My soul is heavy, even unto death. You stay here, and watch with me.

³⁹ And he went a little apart and fell flat on his face and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.

⁴⁰ And he came back to the disciples and found them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with me for one hour? ⁴¹ Watch, and pray that you do not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴² He went away once more and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled. ⁴³ And he came and found his disciples asleep again. For their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And he left them and went again and prayed the third time, saying the same words. ⁴⁵ Then he came to his disciples and said to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest! Take heed: the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.

⁴⁷ While he was yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large band of men bearing swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And he who betrayed him had arranged a sign, saying, Whomever I kiss, he is the one; lay hands on him. ⁴⁹ And at once he went up to Jesus and said, Hail, Master! and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, why have you come? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
