Matthew 26:21-35
21And as they were eating, ahe said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23He answered, b“He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. 24The Son of Man goes cas it is written of him, but dwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! eIt would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, fRabbi?” He said to him, g“You have said so.”Institution of the Lord’s Supper

30 rAnd when they had sung a hymn, sthey went out to tthe Mount of Olives. 31Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will ustrike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32But after I am raised up, vI will go before you to Galilee.” 33 wPeter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 xJesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ybefore the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 zPeter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
