34 Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, tonight before the rooster crows you will say three times that you don't know me."
34
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”
35 But Peter said, "I will never say that I don't know you! I will even die with you!" And all the other followers said the same thing.
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 Jesus went with his followers to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
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.”

38 He said to them, "My heart is full of sorrow, to the point of death. Stay 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 After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, do not give me this cupn of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want."
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 Then Jesus went back to his followers and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "You men could not stay awake with me for one hour?
40
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.
41 Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak."

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42

43 Then he went back to his followers, and again he found them asleep, because their eyes were heavy.
