New Testament

Luke 22:33-42 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

33. But Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you. I will even die with you!”

34. But Jesus said, “Peter, before the rooster crows tonight, you will say you don’t know me. You will say this three times!”

35. Then Jesus said to the apostles, “When I sent you out without money, a bag, or sandals, did you need anything?”They said, “No.”

36. He said to them, “But now if you have money or a bag, carry that with you. If you don’t have a sword, sell your coat and buy one.

37. The Scripture says, ‘He was treated like a criminal.’ This scripture must have its full meaning. It was written about me, and it is happening now.”

38. The followers said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords!”He said to them, “That’s enough.”

39-40. Jesus left the city and went to the Mount of Olives. His followers went with him. (Jesus went there often.) He said to his followers, “Pray for strength against temptation.”

41. Then Jesus went about a stone’s throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed,

42. “Father, if it is what you want, then let me not have this cup of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want.”
