Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 26:33-39 New International Version (NIV)

33. Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

34. “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

35. But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

38. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
