24. Jesus said, “This is my blood which is poured out for many, my blood which seals God's covenant.

25. I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God.”

26. Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

27. Jesus said to them, “All of you will run away and leave me, for the scripture says, ‘God will kill the shepherd, and the sheep will all be scattered.’

28. But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you.”

29. Peter answered, “I will never leave you, even though all the rest do!”

30. Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you that before the cock crows twice tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me.”

31. Peter answered even more strongly, “I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!”And all the other disciples said the same thing.

32. They came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
