Matthew 26:21-35 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

21. And while they were eating, He said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you shall deliver Me up.”

22. And they were deeply grieved, and began to say to Him, each of them, “Master, is it I?”

23. And He answering, said, “He who has dipped his hand with Me in the dish, he shall deliver Me up.

24. “Indeed, the Son of Aḏam goes as it has been written concerning Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Aḏam is delivered up! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25. And Yehuḏah – he who delivered Him up – answering, said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

26. And as they were eating, יהושע took bread, and having blessed, broke and gave it to the taught ones and said, “Take, eat, this is My body.”

27. And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28. “For this is My blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29. “But I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on till that day when I drink it anew with you in the reign of My Father.”

30. And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31. Then יהושע said to them, “All of you shall stumble in Me this night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’

32. “But after I have been raised, I shall go before you into Galil.”

33. And Kĕpha answering, said to Him, “Even if all stumble in You, I shall never stumble.”

34. יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.”

35. Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I shall not deny You!” All the taught ones said the same too.
