St. Matthew: Chapter 26: 1; 26-29; 36-46
The Conspiracy against Jesus
Jesus had now finished all he wanted to say, and he told his disciples, It will be Passover, as you know, in two days time, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.

The institution of the Eucharist
Now as they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. Take it and eat; he said, This is my body. Then he took a cup, and when he had returned thanks, he gave it to them. Drink all of you from this, he said for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall not drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.

Gethsemane
Then Jesus came with them to a small estate called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, Stay here while I go over there to pray. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And sadness came over him, and great distress. Then he said to them, My sould is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and keep awake with me. And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. My Father, he said, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it. He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, So you had not the strength to keep awake with me one hour? You should be awake, and praying not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: My Father, he said, if this cup cannot pass by without my drinking it, your will be done! And he came again back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, You can sleep on now and take your rest. Now the hour has come when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is already close at hand.
