19. And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
20. And when it was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.
21. And while they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.”
22. And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I, Lord?”
23. And he answered and said, “The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me.
24. The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”
25. And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and said, “Surely I am not he, am I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
26. Now while they were eating Jesus took bread and, after giving thanks, he broke it, and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.”
27. And after taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you,
28. for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29. But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
30. And after they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32. But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33. But Peter answered and said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”
34. Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!”
