Matthew:26:26-35
wmth@Matthew:26:26 @ During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, »Take this and eat it: it is my body.«
wmth@Matthew:26:27 @ And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, »Drink from it, all of you;
wmth@Matthew:26:28 @ for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins–the blood which ratifies the Covenant.
wmth@Matthew:26:29 @ I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.«
wmth@Matthew:26:30 @ So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
wmth@Matthew:26:31 @ Then said Jesus, »This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written,
wmth@Matthew:26:32 @ But after I have risen to life again I will go before you into Galilee.«
wmth@Matthew:26:33 @ »All may stumble and fail,« said Peter, »but I never will.«
wmth@Matthew:26:34 @ »In solemn truth I tell you,« replied Jesus, »that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me.«
wmth@Matthew:26:35 @ »Even if I must die with you,« declared Peter, »I will never disown you.« In like manner protested all the disciples.
