(33)Peter answering said to him: Though all shall be offended because of thee, I will never be offended. (34)Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, that this night, before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me. (35)Peter says to him: Even though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. (36)Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples: Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. (37)And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be troubled. (38)Then says he to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death. Tarry ye here, and watch with me. (39)And going forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. But yet, not as I will, but as thou wilt. (40)And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping; and he says to Peter: Were ye so unable to watch with me one hour? (41)Watch and pray, that ye enter not 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 can not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. (43)And coming he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy. (44)And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. (45)Then he comes to his disciples, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest[26:45]! Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (46)Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that betrays me. (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)And his betrayer gave them a sign, saying: Whom I shall kiss, that is he; hold him fast. (49)And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. (50)And Jesus said to him: Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him fast. (51)And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest took off his ear. (52)Then says Jesus to him: Put back thy sword into its place; for all they who take the sword shall perish with the sword. (53)Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will send[26:53] me more than twelve legions of angels? (54)How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? (55)In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes: Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold of me. (56)But all this has been done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him, and fled.
