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." |
