| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended . | 33 Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." |
| 34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow , thou shalt deny me thrice. | 34 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." |
| 35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. | 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 cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. | 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 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy . | 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. |
| 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. | 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 And he went a little further , and fell on his face, and prayed , saying , O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will , but as thou wilt. | 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." |
| 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep , and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? | 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. |
| 41 Watch and pray , that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. | 41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." |
| 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed , saying , O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done . | 42 He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." |
| 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy . | 43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. |
