Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

^27 (A)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? ^(B)But for this purpose I came to this hour.

²³ But Jesus answered them, saying, ^(A)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

⁷ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had ^(A)offered up prayers and supplications, ^(B)with vehement cries and tears to Him ^(C)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard ^(D)because of His godly fear,

^21 (A)When Jesus had said these things, ^(B)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(C)one of you will betray Me.”

⁴² Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, ^[a]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

¹⁴ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He ^(A)Himself likewise shared in the same, ^(B)that through death He might destroy him who had the power of ^(C)death, that is, the devil,

^44 (A)And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

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 ^(B)prayed, saying, ^(C)“O My Father, if it is possible, ^(D)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, ^(E)not as I will, but as You will.”
