Matthew 26:22-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And being greatly saddened, each one of them began to say, "Surely, it is not I, Lord?"

23. But he responded by saying: "He who dips his hand with me into the dish, the same will betray me.

24. Indeed, the Son of man goes, just as it has been written about him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man will be betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

25. Then Judas, who betrayed him, responded by saying, "Surely, it is not I, Master?" He said to him, "You have said it."

26. Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: "Take and eat. This is my body."

27. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: "Drink from this, all of you.

28. For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins.

29. But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."

30. And after a hymn was sung, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31. Then Jesus said to them: "You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
