Matthew 26:33-38

33Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.”

34Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

35“No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.

36Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.”

37He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed.

38He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
