in the dish the same shall betray me. The Son of
man goeth as il is written of him. but wo unto that

and said. take, eat; this is my body. And he took

never be offended. Jesus said unto him, verify !
saw unto thee that this night before the cock crow
thou shalt denv me thrice. Peter said unto him,
though should die with thee, yet will l not deny
thee; likewise also said all the disciples.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto place called
and saith unto the disciples sit ye here,
while go and pray Wonder. And he took with him
Peter and the Two of Zebedee, and began to be
sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them,
my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:
tarry We here, and watch with me. And he went a
little farther and fell on his face and prayed, say
ing my Father, if it be possible let this cup pass
from me: nevertheless mot WILL but as thou wilt
Aud he csmeth unto the disciples and fndcth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter what, could We not
watch with me one hour! Watch and pray, that We

but the flesh is weak He went away again the Sc
cond time, and prayed, saying my Father, if this
cup may net pass away from me, except drink it,,
thy will be done; and he came and found them asleep
again,for their eyes were heavy And he left them,
and went away again, and prayed the third time,
saying the same words. Then csmeth he to his dis
cpes, and saith unto them sleep now, and take
your rest; behold, the hour is at hand and the OF
man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise,
let be going behold he is at hand that doth be-
tray me.
