Thursday

"Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

"He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

"What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter… If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."

"And [He] began to be sorrowful and very heavy… My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death.

"…He said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt…

"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
