Verse 26
The hymn was probably the second part of the Hallel (lit. praise, Psalms 115-118) that the Jews sang antiphonally at the end of the Passover. The other evangelists recorded more that Jesus said and did in the upper room (e.g., John 13-16). By the time they left, it was probably quite late at night.
"When Jesus arose to go to Gethsemane, Psalms 118 was upon his lips. It provided an appropriate description of how God would guide his Messiah through distress and suffering to glory." [Note: Lane, p. 509.]
