The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 47: Matthew: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Matthew
26:34. Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before
the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.
26:35. Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will
not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples.
26:36. Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called
Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder
and pray.
26:37. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began
to grow sorrowful and to be sad.
26:38. Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay
you here and watch with me.
26:39. And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and
saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me.
Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt.
26:40. And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he
saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
26:41. Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
26:42. Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if
this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.
26:43. And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes
were heavy.
26:44. And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time,
saying the selfsame word.
26:45. Then he cometh to his disciples and said to them: Sleep ye now
and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall
be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
26:46. Rise: let us go. Behold he is at hand that will betray me.
26:47. As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with
him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests
and the ancients of the people.
26:48. And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I
shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast.
26:49. And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he
kissed him.
26:50. And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they
came up and laid hands on Jesus and held him.
26:51. And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his
hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest,
cut off his ear.
26:52. Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place:
for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
26:53. Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me
presently more than twelve legions of angels?
26:54. How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be
done?
26:55. In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come
out, as it were to a robber, with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I
sat daily with you, teaching in the temple: and you laid not hands on
me.
26:56. Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might
be fulfilled. Then the disciples, all leaving him, fled.
