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.
36. Then יהושע came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the taught ones, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37. And He took with Him Kĕpha and the two sons of Zaḇdai, and He began to be grieved and deeply distressed.
38. Then He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39. And going forward a little, He fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I desire, but as You desire.”
40. And He came to the taught ones and found them asleep, and said to Kĕpha, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?
41. “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
42. Again He went away, a second time, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is impossible for this to pass unless I drink it, let Your desire be done.”
