24. He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.
25. Truly I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27. Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd,and the sheep will be scattered.’
28. But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29. Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30. Jesus said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31. But he said more vehemently, “If I must die with You, I will not deny You.” They all said the same thing.
32. They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. And He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33. He took Peter and James and John with Him and began to be greatly distressed and very troubled.
34. And He said to them, “My soul is deeply sorrowful unto death. Remain here and keep watch.”
35. He went a little farther and fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36. He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37. Then He came and found them sleeping and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch one hour?
38. Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39. Again He went away and prayed the same words.
