Jesus Christ » History of » Retires to gethsemane (on the mount of olives)
After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, "Sit down here, whilst I go yonder and there pray." And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress, and He said to them, "My soul is crushed with anguish to the very point of death; wait here, and keep awake with me." read more.
Going forward a short distance He fell on His face and prayed. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou willest." Then He came to the disciples and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Alas, none of you could keep awake with me for even a single hour! Keep awake, and pray that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail." Again a second time He went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is impossible for this cup to pass without my drinking it, Thy will be done." He came and again found them asleep, for they were very tired. So He left them, and went away once more and prayed a third time, again using the same words. Then He came to the disciples and said, "Sleep on and rest. See, the moment is close at hand when the Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men. Rouse yourselves. Let us be going. My betrayer is close at hand."

So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed." Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress, and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake." read more.
Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony; and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest." Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour? Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail." He again went away and prayed, using the very same words. When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him. A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men. Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."

On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him. But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation." But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying, read more.
"Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!" And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him; while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground. When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow. "Why are you sleeping?" He said; "stand up; and pray that you may not come into temptation."

Jesus Christ » History of » His last passover meal and his establishment of the lord's supper (in jerusalem)
On the first day of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus with the question, "Where shall we make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" "Go into the city," He replied, "to a certain man, and tell him, 'The Teacher says, My time is close at hand. It is at your house that I shall keep the Passover with my disciples.'" The disciples did as Jesus directed them, and got the Passover ready. read more.
When evening came, He was at table with the twelve disciples, and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, "In solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me." Intensely grieved they began one after another to ask Him, "Can it be I, Master?" "The one who has dipped his fingers in the bowl with me," He answered, "is the man who will betray me. The Son of Man is indeed going as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man if he had never been born." Then Judas, the disciple who was betraying Him, asked, "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is you," He replied. During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body." And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins--the blood which ratifies the Covenant. I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom." So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?" So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him, and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, 'The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?' read more.
Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us." So the disciples went out and came to the city, and found everything just as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready. When it was evening, He came with the Twelve. And while they were at table Jesus said, "I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me." They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?" "It is one of the Twelve," He replied; "he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me. For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born." Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body." Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it. "This is my blood," He said, "which is to be poured out on behalf of many--the blood which makes the Covenant sure. I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God."

"You will no sooner have entered the city," He replied, "than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water.

"And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations." So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready. When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him, He said to them, "Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God." Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come." Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me." He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
