New Testament

Mark 14:30-39 Amplified Bible (AMP)

30. And Jesus said to him, Truly I tell you, this very night, before a cock crows twice, you will utterly deny Me [disclaiming all connection with Me] three times.

31. But [Peter] said more vehemently and repeatedly, [Even] if it should be necessary for me to die with You, I will not deny or disown You! And they all kept saying the same thing.

32. Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, Sit down here while I pray.

33. And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be struck with terror and amazement and deeply troubled and depressed.

34. And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sad (overwhelmed with grief) so that it almost kills Me! Remain here and keep awake and be watching.

35. And going a little farther, He fell on the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the [fatal] hour might pass from Him.

36. And He was saying, Abba, [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].

37. And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Have you not the strength to keep awake and watch [with Me for] one hour?

38. Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39. He went away again and prayed, saying the same words.
