²¹ And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”^(A)

²² They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”

²³ Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.^{(B) 24} The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.^(C) But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

²⁵ Then Judas, the one who would betray him,^(D) said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”^(E)

Jesus answered, “You have said so.”

²⁶ While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it^(F) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

²⁷ Then he took a cup,^(G) and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. ²⁸ This is my blood of the^[a] covenant,^(H) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.^{(I) 29} I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you^(J) in my Father’s kingdom.”

³³ Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

³⁴ “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”^(P)

³⁵ But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,^(Q) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.
