Now while they were eating (Jerusalem, AD 30), Jesus having taken bread, having expressed thanks, having broken, and having given to the disciples, said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and, when he had given thanks, he gave to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this - being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins - is my covenant blood. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Having sung hymns, they went out to the Mount of Olives. At that time and to them, Jesus stated, “You will all be stumbled by me this very night because it’s written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But, after I am raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” But responding to him, Peter said, “Though they are all stumbled by you, I myself will never be stumbled by you.” Jesus declared to him, “Truly, I state to you that this very night, before the rooster crows, you will utterly deny me three times.” Peter stated to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not utterly deny you!” All the disciples said the same.
