Matthew 26:30-46

301And after singing a 2hymn, they went out to 3the Mount of Olives.

31Then Jesus said to them, “You will all 45fall away because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘6I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be 7scattered.’ 32But after I have been raised, 8I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 33But Peter replied to Him, “Even if they all 9fall away because of You, I will never fall away!” 34Jesus said to him, “10Truly I say to you that 11this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35Peter said to Him, “12Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” All the disciples said the same thing as well.

3613Then Jesus came with them to a place called 1415Gethsemane, and told His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37And He took 16Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38Then He said to them, “17My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and 18keep watch with Me.”

39And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let 19this cup pass from Me; 20yet not as I will, but as You will.” 40And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “So, you men could not 21keep watch with Me for one hour? 4122Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; 23the spirit is 24willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup 25cannot pass away unless I drink from it, 26Your will be done.” 43Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “27Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, 28the hour 29is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!”
