34. Yesu akamwambia, “Kweli nakuambia, usiku huu kabla jogoo hajawika, utanikana mara tatu.”
35. Petro akamwambia, “Hata kama ni lazima nife pamoja nawe, sitakukana kamwe.” Wale wanafunzi wengine wote wakasema vivyo hivyo.
36. Kisha Yesu akaenda pamoja nao bustanini Gethsemane, akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Kaeni hapa nami niende pale mbele kusali.”
37. Akawachukua Petro na wana wawili wa Zebedayo, akaanza kuwa na huzuni na mahangaiko.
38. Hapo akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami.”
39. Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, kikombe hiki kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe.”
40. Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Ndio kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?
41. Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho inataka lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
42. Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, utakalo lifanyike.”
