(31)Then saith Jesus unto them, Ye all will be offended at me this night: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad." (32)But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. (33)Then Peter, taking up the word, said to him, Though all should be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended. (34)Jesus saith to him, I tell thee of a certainty, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. (35)Peter said to him, Though I should die with thee, never will I deny thee. In like manner also said all the disciples. (36)Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (37)And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection. (38)Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me. (39)And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. (40)And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour? (41)Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. (42)Again the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it, thy will be done. (43)And coming, he found them asleep again, for their eyes were weighed down. (44)And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, repeating the same sentence. (45)Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (46)Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth me approaches. (47)And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. (48)Now he that betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: seize him. (49)And immediately approaching to Jesus, he said, Hail, master; and kissed him. (50)Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him. (51)And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear. (52)Then saith Jesus unto him, Return thy sword into its sheath: for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword. (53)Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels? (54)But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
