Mark 14:20-38

20He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

21For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

22And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

23And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

24And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

28But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."

29Peter said to him, "Even though they all fall away, I will not."

30And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

31But he said emphatically, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same.

32And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

34And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch."

35And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

37And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

38Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
