⁷⁰ But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.”

¹² Therefore ^(A)let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

^8 (A)But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ^(B)their portion will be in ^(C)the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is ^(D)the second death.”

⁵⁸ And ^(A)Peter was following him at a distance, as far as ^(B)the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with ^(C)the guards to see the end.

⁵⁶ But ^(A)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” ^(B)Then all the disciples left him and fled.

⁵¹ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his ^(A)sword and struck the servant^[a] of the high priest and cut off his ear.

⁴⁰ And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? ^41 (A)Watch and ^(B)pray that you ^(C)may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ⁴² Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, ^(D)your will be done.” ⁴³ And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(E)their eyes were heavy.

^34 (A)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ^(B)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” ^35 (C)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
