page 45 of 53 (84%)
014:026 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
014:027 Then said Jesus to them, "All of you are about to stumble
and fall, for it is written, `I will strike down the Shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered in all directions.'
014:028 But after I have risen to life again I will go before
you into Galilee."
014:029 "All may stumble and fall," said Peter, "yet I never will."
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."
