man if he had never had a being. (25)Then Judas, who betrayed him,
addressing him said, Master, is it I? He saith to him, Thou hast named
the person.

(26)Then as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessing, brake,
and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
(27)And taking the cup, and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of this: (28)for this is my blood, that _blood_ of the new
testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins. (29)And I
tell you, That I will no more henceforth drink of this produce of the
vine, until that day when I drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of
my Father. (30)And when they had sung an hymn, they went out to the
mount of Olives.

(31)Then saith Jesus unto them, Ye all will be offended at me this
night: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of
the flock shall be scattered abroad." (32)But after I am risen, I will
go before you into Galilee. (33)Then Peter, taking up the word, said to
him, Though all should be offended at thee, yet will I never be
offended. (34)Jesus saith to him, I tell thee of a certainty, that this
night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (35)Peter said
to him, Though I should die with thee, never will I deny thee. In like
manner also said all the disciples. (36)Then cometh Jesus with them to
a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here,
while I go and pray yonder. (37)And taking Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with
dejection. (38)Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful
even to death: abide here, and watch with me. (39)And going a little
farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but
as thou wilt. (40)And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them
sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to
watch with me one hour? (41)Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. (42)Again
the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be
not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it,
thy will be done. (43)And coming, he found them asleep again, for their
eyes were weighed down. (44)And leaving them, he went away again, and
prayed the third time, repeating the same sentence. (45)
