30. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31. Then JESUS said to them,"All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'Zechariah 13:7

32. But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

33. But Peter answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."

34. JESUS said to him,"Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

35. Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.

36. Then JESUS came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples,"Sit here, while I go there and pray."

37. He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

38. Then he said to them,"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

39. He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying,"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

40. He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,"What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?

41. Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42. Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying,"My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."

43. He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44. He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

45. Then he came to his disciples, and said to them,"Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46. Arise, let's be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."

26. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

27. JESUS said to them,"All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'Zechariah 13:7

28. However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."

29. But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

30. JESUS said to him,"Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

31. But he spoke all the more, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." They all said the same thing.

32. They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples,"Sit here, while I pray."

33. He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

34. He said to them,"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."

35. He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

36. He said,"Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

37. He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,"Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

38. Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

39. Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.

40. Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

41. He came the third time, and said to them,"Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42. Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."

39. He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

40. When he was at the place, he said to them,"Pray that you don't enter into temptation."

41. He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

42. saying,"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."

43. An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

44. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45. When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

46. and said to them,"Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

When JESUS had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
