Old/New Testament
Peter Will Deny Jesus
31 “Simon, Simon. Behold— Satan asked-for[a] you[b] all that he might sift[c] you like wheat. 32 But I prayed for you[d], that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned-back, establish[e] your brothers”. 33 But the one said to Him, “Lord, I am prepared to go with You even[f] to prison and to death!” 34 And the One said, “I say to you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you deny three-times that you know Me”.
Jesus Tells The Disciples To Prepare For a New Assignment
35 And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag and [traveler’s] bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And the ones said, “Nothing”. 36 And He said to them, “But now[g] let the one having a money-bag take it. Likewise also a [traveler’s] bag. And let the one not having one sell his cloak and buy a sword. 37 For I say to you that this [saying] having been written [in Isa 53:12] must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was counted[h] with lawless ones’. For indeed the thing concerning Me has a fulfillment[i]”. 38 And the ones said, “Lord, behold— here are two swords”. And the One said to them, “It is enough”.
Jesus Waits And Prays On The Mount of Olives
39 And having gone out, He went in accordance with His custom to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples also, they followed Him. 40 And having come-to-be at the place, He said to them, “Be praying that you may not enter into temptation”. 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw. And having put down His knees, He was praying, 42 saying “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet let not My will, but Yours be done”. 43 And[j] an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And having come-to-be in agony, He was praying more-fervently. And His sweat became like[k] drops of blood going down upon the ground. 45 And having arisen from prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them being asleep because of grief. 46 And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having stood-up, be praying that[l] you may not enter into temptation”.
