²⁰And when it^* was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.^c ²¹And while^* they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.” ²²And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I,^d Lord?” ²³And he answered and^* said, “The one who dips his^e hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me. ²⁴The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.” ²⁵And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and^* said, “Surely I am not he, am I,^f Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”^*

The Lord’s Supper

²⁶Now while^* they were eating Jesus took bread and, after^* giving thanks, he broke it,^* and giving it^* to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.” ²⁷And after^* taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it^* to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, ²⁸for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.” ³⁰And after they^* had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³¹Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written,

‘I will strike the shepherd

and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’^g

³²But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” ³³But Peter answered and^* said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!” ³⁴Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!” ³⁵Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
