Matthew 26:27-36 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

27. And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

28. for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

29. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

30. After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31. Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.'

32. But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

33. But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away."

34. Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a 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." All the disciples said the same thing too.

36. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
