The Lord's Supper
22While they were eating, Jesus took some bread. Jesus thanked God for the bread
and divided it. He gave the bread to his followers. Jesus said, "Take this bread
[and eat it]. This bread is my body." 23Then Jesus took a cup of wine. He thanked
God for it and gave it to the followers. All the followers drank from the cup. 24Then
Jesus said, "This wine is my blood. My blood (death) begins the new agreement [from
God to his people]. This blood is given for many people. 25I tell you the truth.
I will not drink this wine again until that day when I drink it in the kingdom
of God and the wine is new." 26All the followers sang a song. Then they went out
to the Mount of Olives.*
Jesus' Followers Will All Leave Him
27Then Jesus told the followers, "You will all lose your faith. It is written [in
the Scriptures* ]: 'I will kill the shepherd, and the sheep will run away.'
Zechariah 13:7 28But [after I die], I will rise from death. Then I will go to
Galilee. I will be there before you go there." 29Peter said, "All the other followers
may lose their faith. But I will never lose my faith." 30Jesus answered, "I tell
you the truth. Tonight you will say you don't know me. You will say this three
times before the rooster crows twice." 31But Peter answered strongly, "I will never
say I don't know you! I will even die with you!" And all the other followers said
the same thing.
Jesus Prays Alone
32Jesus and his followers went to a place named Gethsemane. Jesus said to the followers,
"Sit here while I pray." 33Jesus told Peter, James, and John to come with him. Then
Jesus began to be very troubled and full of sorrow. 34Jesus said to Peter, James,
and John, "My soul is full of sorrow. My heart is breaking with sadness. Wait here
and stay awake." 35Jesus walked a little more away from them. Then Jesus fell on
the ground and prayed. Jesus prayed that, if possible, he would not have this time
of suffering. 36Jesus prayed, "[Abba],* Father! You can do all things. Let me not
have this cup* [of suffering]. But do what you want, not what I want." 37Then Jesus
went back to his followers. He found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "Simon, why
are you sleeping? You could not stay awake with me for one hour? 38Stay awake and
pray for strength against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is right. But
your body is weak." 39Again Jesus went away and prayed the same thing. 40Then Jesus
went back to the followers. Again Jesus found them sleeping. Their eyes were very
tired. The followers did not know what they should say to Jesus. 41After Jesus prayed
a third time, he went back to his followers. Jesus said to them, "You are still
sleeping and resting? That's enough! The time has come for the Son of Man* to be
given to sinful people. 42Stand up! We must go. Here comes the man who is giving
me to those people."
Jesus Is Arrested
43While Jesus was still speaking, Judas came there. Judas was one of the twelve
apostles.* Judas had many people with him. These people were sent from the leading
priests, the teachers of the law, and the older Jewish leaders. These people with
Judas had swords and clubs. 44Judas* planned to do something to show the people
which man was Jesus. Judas said, "The man I kiss is Jesus. Arrest him and guard
him while you lead him away." 45So Judas went to Jesus and said, "Teacher!" Then
Judas kissed Jesus. 46Then the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 47One of the
followers standing near Jesus grabbed his sword and pulled it out. This follower
hit the servant of the high priest* with the sword and cut off his ear. 48Then Jesus
said, "You came to get me with swords and clubs like I am a criminal. 49Every day
I was with you teaching in the temple* area. You did not arrest me there. But all
these things have happened so that it will be like the Scriptures* said." 50Then
all of Jesus' followers left him and ran away. 51There was a young man following
Jesus. He was wearing only a linen cloth. The people also grabbed this man. 52The
cloth he was wearing came off, and he ran away wearing nothing.
