Matthew 26: 14 - 35
| 14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him. |
| 17Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” |
| 18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’” |
| 19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover. |
| 20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples. 21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.” |
| 22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?” |
| 23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me. 24The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.” |
| 25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” |
| He said to him, “You said it.” |
| 26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it, 28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins. 29But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” |
| 30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. |
| 31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” |
| 33But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.” |
| 34Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” |
| 35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise. |
