Thursday of Easter Week: The Last Supper and Gethsemane

        

                               Jesus Washing the Apostles' Feet     Jesus Praying in Gethsemane           The Betrayal of Jesus

26    And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27    And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28    For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

36    Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

39    And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Matthew 26: 26-28, 36, 39
