New Testament in a Year

²⁷ and Jesus saith to them -- `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

²⁸ but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'

²⁹ And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

³¹ And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee -- I will in nowise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

³² And they come to a spot, the name of which [is] Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I may pray;'

³³ and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

³⁴ and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul -- to death; remain here, and watch.'

³⁵ And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

³⁶ and he said, `Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, `Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

³⁹ And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying;

⁴⁰ and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

⁴¹ And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful;

⁴² rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.'

⁴³ And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

⁴⁴ and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'

⁴⁵ and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.

⁴⁶ And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

⁴⁷ and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!

⁴⁹ daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'

⁵⁰ And having left him they all fled;

⁵¹ and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

⁵² and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.

⁵³ And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes;
