is written of him; but wo to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been desirable for that man if he had never been born.
(22)And as they were eating, Jesus taking a loaf, when he had blessed, brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. (23)And taking the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them; and they all drank out of it. (24)And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. (25)Verily I say unto you, That I will henceforth no more drink of the produce of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
(26)And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. (27)And Jesus saith to them, All ye will be offended at me this night; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed:" (28)but after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. (29)Then said Peter unto him, Though all should be offended, yet will not I. (30)And Jesus saith to him, Verily I tell thee, That to-day, in the course of this very night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. (31)But he said with more vehement assertion, Though I should die with thee, yet would I in no wise deny thee. And they all spake also in the same manner.
(32)And they come to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here whilst I shall pray. (33)And he taketh Peter, and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit: (34)and he saith to them, My soul is deeply afflicted even to death: abide here, and watch. (35)And he went a little farther forward, and fell on the earth, and prayed, that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. (36)And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. (37)And he came and found them asleep: and saith unto Peter, Sleepest thou? hast thou not strength to watch with me a single hour? (38)Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (39)And again he went away, and prayed, speaking the same sentence. (40)And when he returned, he found them again sleeping; for their eyes were weighed down: and they knew not what to answer him. (41)Then the third time he cometh, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and repose: it is enough, the hour is come; lo! the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners; (42)arise, let us go; behold, the traitor approaches me. (43)And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, and a great multitude with him, with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders. (44)Now he that betrayed him, had given them a countersign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, seize him, and lead him off safely. (45)And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. (46)Then they laid their hands on him, and seized him. (47)And one particular person of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. (48)And Jesus addressing them said, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to apprehend me? (49)Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye laid no hold upon me: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
