Mark 14:20-38

20He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

21The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”

22And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

23Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

25Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink 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.

27Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.’

28“But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

29Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be.”

30Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

31But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all said likewise.

32Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

34Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”

35He went a little farther, and 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. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

37Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?

38Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
