Matthew 26:27-45
-
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
-
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
-
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
-
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
-
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
-
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
-
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
-
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
-
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
-
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye 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 very heavy.
-
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
-
39 And he went a little farther, and fell 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 thou wilt.
-
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
-
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
-
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
-
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
-
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
-
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
