Matthew 26:29-39

29 But I tell you, from now [on] I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father."
30 And [after they] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
33 But Peter answered [and] said to him, "If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!"
34 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!"
35 Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!" And all the disciples said the same [thing].

The Prayer in Gethsemane

36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there [and] pray."
37 And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled.
38 Then he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me."
39 And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you [will]."
