28
"But after I have been raised, 3I will goahead of you to Galilee."
29
But Petersaid to Him, "Even thoughall may fallaway, yet I will not."
30
And Jesussaid to him, "Truly I say to you, that 4thisverynight, before5a roostercrowstwice, you yourself will deny Me threetimes."

But Peter kept sayinginsistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the samethingalso.
Jesus in Gethsemane
326They came to a placenamedGethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sithereuntil I have prayed."
33
And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very7distressed and troubled.
34
And He said to them, "8My soul is deeplygrieved to the point of death; remainhere and keepwatch."
35
And He went a littlebeyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, 9the hour might pass Him by.
36
And He was saying, "10Abba! Father! Allthings are possible for You; removethiscup from Me; 11yet not what I will, but what You will."
37
And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keepwatch for onehour?
38
"12Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
39
Again He wentaway and prayed, saying the samewords.
40
And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not knowwhat to answer Him.
41
And He came the thirdtime, and said to them, "Are you stillsleeping and resting? It is enough; 13the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42
"Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

44
Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever* I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him awayunderguard."
45
After coming, Judas immediatelywent to Him, saying, "15Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
