l you truly, that one of you will betray me. [26:22]And being
grieved exceedingly, they each one began to say to him, Lord, is it I?
[26:23]But he answered and said, He that dips his hand with me in the
dish, he shall betray me. [26:24]The Son of man goes indeed, as it is
written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!
it would be good for him if that man had not been born. [26:25]And
Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He said to
him, As you say.
4 [26:26]And as they were eating Jesus took the bread, and having
blessed, broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is
my body. [26:27] And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to
them, saying, Drink you all of it; [26:28]this is my blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
[26:29]And I tell you that I will not drink henceforth of this product
of the vine, till that day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom
of my Father. [26:30]And having sung a hymn they went out to the Mount
of Olives.
5 [26:31]Then Jesus said to them, You will all be offended with me this
night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of
the flock shall be scattered; [26:32]but after I have risen I will go
before you into Galilee. [26:33]And Peter answered and said to him, If
all men shall be offended with you, I will not. [26:34]Jesus said to
him, I tell you truly, that this night, before the cock crows, you will
deny me thrice. [26:35]Peter said to him, If it should be necessary
for me to die with you, I will by no means deny you. And all the
disciples said the same.
CHAPTER XXIV.
CHRIST IN GETHSEMANE, AND BEFORE THE SANHEDRIM.
1 [26:36]THEN Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and
said to the disciples, Sit here, till I go and pray there. [26:37]And
taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and
dejected. [26:38]Then he said to them, My soul is sorrowful even to
death; remain here and watch with me. [26:39]And going forward a
little, he fell on his face, and prayed and said, My Father, if it is
possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou
wilt. [26:40]And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and
said to Peter, Are you so unable to watch with me one hour?
[26:41]Watch and pray that you enter not into trial; the spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh is weak.
