Matthew 26:30-46

30After singing the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31Then Yeshua said to them, “This night you will all fall away because of Me; for it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32But after I am raised up, I will go before you to the Galilee.”

33But Peter replied to Him, “Though all fall away because of You, I’ll never fall away.”

34Yeshua said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35“Even if I must die with You,” Peter says to Him, “I’ll never deny You!” And so said all the disciples.

36Then Yeshua comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He tells the disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”

37And He took along Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, and He began to be sorrowful and troubled.

38Then He tells them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Going a little farther, He fell face down and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me! Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

40Then He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping; and He tells Peter, “So couldn’t you keep watch with Me for one hour?

41Keep watching and praying, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42Again for a second time He went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, let Your will be done.”

43And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44So He left them again and prayed a third time, saying the same words once more.

45Then He comes to the disciples and says to them, “Still sleeping? Taking your rest? Look, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of sinners.

46Get up, let’s go! Look, My betrayer is near.”
