34. Jesus answered, “The truth is, tonight you will say you don’t know me. You will deny me three times before the rooster crows.”
35. But Peter answered, “I will never say I don’t know you! I will even die with you!” And all the other followers said the same thing.
36. Then Jesus went with his followers to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, “Sit here while I go there and pray.”
37. He told Peter and the two sons of Zebedee to come with him. Then he began to be very sad and troubled.
38. Jesus said to Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, “My heart is so heavy with grief, I feel as if I am dying. Wait here and stay awake with me.”
39. Then Jesus went on a little farther away from them. He fell to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don’t make me drink from this cup. But do what you want, not what I want.”
40. Then he went back to his followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Could you men not stay awake with me for one hour?
41. Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is right, but your body is weak.”
42. Then Jesus went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if I must do this and it is not possible for me to escape it, then I pray that what you want will be done.”
