Matthew 26:34-39

J.B. Phillips New Testament

³⁴ “I tell you, Peter,” replied Jesus, “that tonight, before the cock crows, you will disown me three times.”

³⁵ “Even if it means dying with you I will never disown you,” said Peter. And all the disciples made the same protest.

The prayer in Gethsemane

^36-39 Then Jesus came with the disciples to a place called Gethsemane and said to them, “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.” Then he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be in terrible distress and misery. “My heart is nearly breaking,” he told them, “stay here and keep watch with me.” Then he walked on a little way and fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible let this cup pass from me—yet it must not be what I want, but what you want.”
