Matthew 26:28-44

MSTC(i) 28 This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine tree, until that day, when I shall drink it new with you in my father's kingdom." 30 And when they had said grace, they went out into Mount Olivet. 31 Then said Jesus unto them, "All ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.' 32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee." 33 Peter answered, and said unto him, "Though all men should be offended by thee, yet would I never be offended." 34 Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, that this same night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." 35 Peter said unto him, "If I should die with thee, yet would I not deny thee." Likewise also said all the disciples. 36 Then went Jesus with them into a place, which is called Gethsemane, and said unto the disciples, "Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder." 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony. 38 Then said Jesus unto them, "My soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry ye here: and watch with me." 39 And he went away a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." 40 And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." 42 He went away once more, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled." 43 And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.
