27. And יהושע said to them, “All of you shall stumble in Me this night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’
28. “But after I am raised, I shall go before you to Galil.”
29. And Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if all shall stumble, yet not I.”
30. And יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that today, this night, before the cock shall crow twice, you shall deny Me three times.”
31. But he spoke more strongly, “If I have to die with You, I shall not deny You!” And they all said the same.
32. And they came to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to His taught ones, “Sit here while I pray.”
33. And He took with Him Kĕpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and He began to be greatly amazed, and to be deeply distressed.
34. And He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35. And He went on a little, and fell on the ground, and was praying that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36. And He said, “Abba, Father, all is possible for You. Make this cup pass from Me. Yet not what I desire, but what You desire.”
37. And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Kĕpha, “Shim‛on, are you sleeping? You were not able to watch one hour!
38. “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
39. And again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
40. And having returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
