Mark 14:27-38
Christian Standard Bible
Peter’s Denial Predicted
27 Then(A) Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away,[a] because it is written:(B)
28 But after I have risen,(E) I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”(F)
29 Peter(G) told him, “Even if everyone falls away, I will not.”
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to him, “today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”(H)
31 But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” And they all said the same thing.
The Prayer in the Garden
32 Then(I) they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he told his disciples,(J) “Sit here while I pray.”(K) 33 He took Peter,(L) James,(M) and John(N) with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 He said to them, “I am deeply grieved[c] to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”(O) 35 He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour(P) might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba,[d] Father!(Q) All things are possible(R) for you. Take this cup(S) away from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will.” 37 Then he came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon,(T) are you sleeping?(U) Couldn’t you stay awake one hour? 38 Stay awake and pray(V) so that you won’t enter into temptation.[e](W) The spirit(X) is willing, but the flesh(Y) is weak.”
