Now on the first day of the Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Where dost Thou want us to prepare for Thee to eat the Passover?” But Jesus said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Master says, My time is near at hand; at thy house I am keeping the Passover with My disciples.’” And the disciples did as Jesus bade them, and prepared the Passover. Now when evening arrived, He reclined at table with the twelve disciples.
And while they were eating, He said, “Amen I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And being very much saddened they began each to say, “Is it I, Lord?” But He answered and said, “He who dips his hand into the dish with Me, he will betray Me. The Son of Man indeed goes His way, as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were better for that man if he had not been born.” And Judas who betrayed Him answered and said, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “Thou hast said it.” And while they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed and broke, and gave it to His disciples, and said, “Take and eat; this is My body,” And taking a cup, He gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, “All of you drink of this; for this is My blood of the new covenant, which is being shed for many unto the forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new with you in the kingdom of My Father.” And after reciting a hymn, they went out to Mount Olivet. Then Jesus said to them, “You will all be scandalized this night because of Me; for it is written, ‘I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.” But Peter answered and said to Him, “Even though all shall be scandalized because of Thee, I will never be scandalized.” Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to thee, this very night, before a cock crows, thou wilt deny Me three times.” Peter said to Him, “Even if I should have to die with Thee, I will not deny thee!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
