Matt 26:18
&
And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, `The Teacher says, "My time is near; I {am to} keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.""'
Matt 26:19
&
The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.
Matt 26:20
&
Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining {at the table} with the twelve disciples.
Matt 26:21
&
As they were eating, He said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."
Matt 26:22
&
Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"
Matt 26:23
&
And He answered, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.
Matt 26:24
&
~"The Son of Man {is to} go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."
Matt 26:25
&
And Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, Rabbi?" Jesus *said to him, "You have said {it} yourself."
Matt 26:26
&
While they were eating, Jesus took {some} bread, and after a blessing, He broke {it} and gave {it} to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."
Matt 26:27
&
And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave {it} to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;
Matt 26:28
&
for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
Matt 26:29
&
~"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 new with you in My Father's kingdom."
Matt 26:30
&
After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Matt 26:31
&
Then Jesus *said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, `I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'
Matt 26:32
&
~"But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."
Matt 26:33
&
But Peter said to Him, "{Even} though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."
Matt 26:34
&
Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this {very} night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
Matt 26:35
&
Peter *said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.
Matt 26:36
&
Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
Matt 26:37
&
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.
Matt 26:38
&
Then He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."
Matt 26:39
&
And He went a little beyond {them,} and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
Matt 26:40
&
And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, "So, you {men} could not keep watch with Me for one hour?
Matt 26:41
&
~"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Matt 26:42
&
He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
Matt 26:43
&
Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Matt 26:44
&
And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
Matt 26:45
&
Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matt 26:46
&
~"Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"
