Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

^30 (A)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(B)they went out to ^(C)the Mount of Olives. ³¹ Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will ^(D)strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ ³² But after I am raised up, ^(E)I will go before you to Galilee.” ^33 (F)Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” ^34 (G)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, ^(H)before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” ^35 (I)Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

^36 (J)Then Jesus went with them ^(K)to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” ³⁷ And taking with him ^(L)Peter and ^(M)the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, ^(N)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and ^(O)watch^[a] with me.” ³⁹ And going a little farther he fell on his face ^(P)and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let ^(Q)this cup pass from me; ^(R)nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” 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 (S)Watch and ^(T)pray that you ^(U)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, ^(V)your will be done.” ⁴³ And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(W)their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for ^(X)the third time, saying the same words again. ⁴⁵ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.^[b] See, ^(Y)the hour is at hand, and ^(Z)the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

^47 (AA)While he was still speaking, ^(AB)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” ⁴⁹ And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, ^(AC)Rabbi!” And he kissed him. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, ^(AD)“Friend, ^(AE)do what you came to do.”^[c] Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his ^(AF)sword and struck the servant^[d] of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For ^(AG)all who take the sword will perish by the sword. ^53 (AH)Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me ^(AI)more than twelve ^(AJ)legions of angels? ^54 (AK)But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day ^(AL)I sat in the temple ^(AM)teaching, and you did not seize me. ⁵⁶ But ^(AN)all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” ^(AO)Then all the disciples left him and fled.

^26 (A)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(B)they went out to ^(C)the Mount of Olives. ²⁷ And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will ^(D)strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ²⁸ But after I am raised up, ^(E)I will go before you to Galilee.” ^29 (F)Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” ³⁰ And ^(G)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before ^(H)the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” ³¹ But ^(I)he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.

^32 (J)And they went ^(K)to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³ And he took with him ^(L)Peter and James and John, and began ^(M)to be greatly distressed and troubled. ³⁴ And he said to them, ^(N)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and ^(O)watch.”^{[a] 35} And going a little farther, he fell on the ground ^(P)and prayed that, if it were possible, ^(Q)the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, ^(R)“Abba, Father, ^(S)all things are possible for you. Remove ^(T)this cup from me. ^(U)Yet not what I will, but what you will.” ³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? ^38 (V)Watch and ^(W)pray that you may not ^(X)enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ³⁹ And again he went away and prayed, ^(Y)saying the same words. ⁴⁰ And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(Z)their eyes were very heavy, and ^(AA)they did not know what to answer him. ⁴¹ And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? ^(AB)It is enough; ^(AC)the hour has come. ^(AD)The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”

^43 (AE)And immediately, while he was still speaking, ^(AF)Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” ⁴⁵ And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, ^(AG)“Rabbi!” And he ^(AH)kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid hands on him and seized him. ⁴⁷ But one of those who stood by drew his ^(AI)sword and struck the servant^[b] of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? ^49 (AJ)Day after day I was with you in the temple ^(AK)teaching, and you did not seize me. But ^(AL)let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” ^50 (AM)And they all left him and fled.

A Young Man Flees

⁵¹ And a young man followed him, with nothing but ^(AN)a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, ⁵² but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

^39 (A)And he came out and went, ^(B)as was his custom, to ^(C)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. ^40 (D)And when he came to ^(E)the place, he said to them, ^(F)“Pray that you may not ^(G)enter into temptation.” ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and ^(H)knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, ^(I)“Father, if you are willing, remove ^(J)this cup from me. ^(K)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” ⁴³ And there appeared to him ^(L)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ And ^(M)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^{[a] 45} And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶ and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and ^(N)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

^47 (O)While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called ^(P)Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, ⁴⁸ but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” ⁴⁹ And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike ^(Q)with the sword?” ⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant^[b] of the high priest and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹ But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. ⁵² Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ^(R)officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? ⁵³ When ^(S)I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is ^(T)your hour, and ^(U)the power of darkness.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(A)he went out with his disciples across ^(B)the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. ² Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew ^(C)the place, for ^(D)Jesus often met there with his disciples. ^3 (E)So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, ^(F)knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, ^(G)“Whom do you seek?” ⁵ They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”^[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. ^6 (H)When Jesus^[b] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. ⁷ So he asked them again, ^(I)“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” ^9 (J)This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, ^(K)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant^[c] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) ¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; ^(L)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
