Matthew 26:26–50
The Lord’s Supper is Instituted
Mark 14:22–25; Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Cor. 11:23–26
26 uAnd as they were eating, vJesus took bread, 3blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; wthis is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, x“Drink from it, all of you. 28 For ythis is My blood zof the 4new covenant, which is shed afor many for the 5remission of sins. 29 But bI say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on cuntil that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
Mark 14:26–31; Luke 22:34, 39; John 13:37, 38
30 dAnd when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus said to them, e“All of you will fbe 6made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:
g‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have been raised, hI will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are 7made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, i“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”
And so said all the disciples.
36 jThen Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and kthe two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, l“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and mprayed, saying, n“O My Father, if it is possible, olet this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, pnot as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 qWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. rThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, 8if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour 9is at hand, and the Son of Man is being sbetrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Mark 14:43–52; Luke 22:47–53; John 18:1–11
47 And twhile He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” uand kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, v“Friend, why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
