^(C1)Now while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and ^(F1)(C2)after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

for ^(C1)this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for ^(C2)many for forgiveness of sins.

"But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father's kingdom."

^(C1)And after singing a ^(F1)hymn, they went out to ^(C2)the Mount of Olives.

Then Jesus ^(*)said to them, "You will all ^(F1)(C1)fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: '^(C2)I WILL STRIKE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK WILL BE ^(C3)SCATTERED.'

"But after I have been raised, ^(C1)I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

But Peter replied to Him, "Even if they all ^(F1)fall away because of You, I will never fall away!"

Jesus said to him, "^(C1)Truly I say to you that ^(C2)this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

Peter ^(*)said to Him, "^(C1)Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" All the disciples said the same thing as well.

^(C1)Then Jesus ^(*)came with them to a place called ^(F1)(C2)Gethsemane, and ^(*)told His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

And He took ^(C1)Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed.

Then He ^(*)said to them, "^(C1)My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and ^(C2)keep watch with Me."

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let ^(C1)this cup pass from Me; ^(C2)yet not as I will, but as You will."

And He ^(*)came to the disciples and ^(*)found them sleeping, and He ^(*)said to Peter, "So, you men could not ^(C1)keep watch with Me for one hour?

"^(C1)Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; ^(C2)the spirit is ^(F1)willing, but the flesh is weak."

He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup ^(C1)cannot pass away unless I drink from it, ^(C2)Your will be done."

Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

Then He ^(*)came to the disciples and ^(*)said to them, "^(F1)Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, ^(C1)the hour ^(F2)is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

"Get up, let's go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!"
