Old/New Testament
27 And Jesus says to them that “You will all be caused-to-fall, because it has been written [in Zech 13:7]: ‘I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered’. 28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee”. 29 But Peter said to Him, “Even[a] though all will be caused to fall, nevertheless, I will not”. 30 And Jesus says to him, “Truly I say to you, that you, today, on this night, before a rooster crows twice— you will deny Me three-times”. 31 But the one was saying emphatically[b], “If I have-to die-with You, I will never deny You”. And they all were also speaking similarly.
Jesus Waits And Prays In The Garden of Gethsemane
32 And they come to a place of which the name is Gethsemane. And He says to His disciples, “Sit here while[c] I pray”. 33 And He takes along Peter and James and John with Him. And He began to be alarmed[d] and distressed. 34 And He says to them, “My soul is deeply-grieved, to the point of death. Stay here and keep-watching”. 35 And having gone ahead a little, He was falling on the ground, and praying that if it is possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He was saying, “Abba[e]! Father! All things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me. But not what I want[f], but what You want ”. 37 And He comes and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you[g] not strong-enough[h] to keep watch for one hour? 38 Keep watching, and be praying that[i] you may not come into temptation[j]. The spirit is willing[k], but the flesh is weak”. 39 And having gone away again, He prayed, having spoken the same thing[l]. 40 And again having come, He found them sleeping. For their eyes were being very-weighed-down. And they did not know what they should answer Him. 41 And He comes the third-time, and says to them, “Are you sleeping[m] and resting from now on? It is enough. The hour came. Behold— the Son of Man is being handed-over into the hands of the sinners. 42 Arise, let us be going. Behold— the one handing Me over has drawn-near”.
Jesus Is Betrayed With a Kiss And Arrested
43 And immediately, while He is still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrives. And with him is a crowd from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders with swords and clubs. 44 Now the one handing Him over had given a signal to them, saying, “Whomever I kiss is He. Seize Him, and lead Him away securely[n]”. 45 And having come, having immediately gone to Him, he says “Rabbi”. And he kissed Him. 46 And the ones put their hands on Him and seized Him. 47 And a certain one of the ones standing near, having drawn his sword, hit the slave of the high priest and took-off his ear. 48 And having responded, Jesus said to them, “Did you come out to arrest Me with swords and clubs as-if against a robber? 49 Daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But this is in order that the Scriptures might be fulfilled”. 50 And having left[o] Him, they all fled. 51 And a certain young-man[p] was following Him, having put-on a linen-cloth over his naked body. And they seize him. 52 But the one, having left-behind the linen-cloth, fled naked.
