27 “All of you will abandon me,” Jesus told them. “For as the Scriptures say, ‘I will attack the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered.’28 But after I have risen from the dead, I will go before you to Galilee.”

29 “I won't abandon you even if everyone else does,” Peter replied.

30 Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth that today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny that you even know me three times.”

31 But Peter was totally adamant, saying, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you.” All of them said the same.

32 They arrived at a place called Gethsemane, where Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray.”33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He began to be very disturbed and troubled.

34 Jesus told them, “My agony is so painful it feels like I'm dying. Please, remain here and stay awake.”35 He went a little farther on and then fell to the ground. He prayed, asking to be spared the time that was coming, if it were possible.

36 “Abba, Father! You can do everything,” he said. “Please, take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet it's not what I want, but what you want.”
