23. And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank from it.
24. And he said to them: "This is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many.
25. Amen I say to you, that I will no longer drink from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new in the kingdom of God."
26. And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27. And Jesus said to them: "You will all fall away from me in this night. For it has been written: 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28. But after I have risen again, I will go before you to Galilee."
29. Then Peter said to him, "Even if all will have fallen away from you, yet I will not."
30. And Jesus said to him, "Amen I say to you, that this day, in this night, before the rooster has uttered its voice twice, you will deny me three times."
31. But he spoke further, "Even if I must die along with you, I will not deny you." And they all spoke similarly also.
32. And they went to a country estate, by the name of Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."
33. And he took Peter, and James, and John with him. And he began to be afraid and wearied.
34. And he said to them: "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Remain here and be vigilant."
35. And when he had proceeded on a little ways, he fell prostrate on the ground. And he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
36. And he said: "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this chalice from me. But let it be, not as I will, but as you will."
37. And he went and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: "Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to be vigilant for one hour?
38. Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39. And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.
