29But aI say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on buntil that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
30aAnd when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
31 Then Jesus said to them, a“All of you will bbe made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: c‘I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32But after I have been raised, aI will go before you to Galilee.”
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are1 made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, a“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said all the disciples.
The Prayer in the Garden
36aThen Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”
37 And He took with Him Peter and athe two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then He said to them, a“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and aprayed, saying, b“O My Father, if it is possible, clet this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, dnot as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?
41aWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. bThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father,1if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour1is at hand, and the Son of Man is being abetrayed into the hands of sinners.
46Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane
47 And awhile He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.”
