014:030 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--
before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three
times disown me."
014:031 "Even if I must die with you," declared Peter again and again,
"I will never disown you." In like manner protested also
all the disciples.
014:032 So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said
to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
014:033 Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began
to be full of terror and distress,
014:034 and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish
to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
014:035 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;
014:036 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."
014:037 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?
014:038 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."
014:039 He again went away and prayed, using the very same words.
014:040 When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were
very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.
014:041 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.
