Matthew 26:26-30

The Betrayal, Passover, Gethsemane, Trial, and Denial of Jesus

Matthew 26 moves from Jesus’ prediction of crucifixion to the leaders’ murder plot, from costly anointing to Judas’s betrayal, from Passover preparation to Jesus’ institution of the Lord’s Supper, from confident disciple vows to Gethsemane weakness, from Jesus’ submission to arrest to disciple desertion, from false trial to Christological confession, and finally from Peter’s denial to bitter weeping.

26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

27Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
