But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you."

Peter answered, "I will never leave you, even though all the rest do!"
30
Jesus said to Peter, "I tell you that before the rooster crows two times tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me."
31
Peter answered even more strongly, "I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!" And all the other disciples said the same thing.
32
They came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
33
He took Peter, James, and John with him. Distress and anguish came over him,
34
and he said to them, "The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch."
35
He went a little farther on, threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if possible, he might not have to go through that time of suffering.
36
"Father," he prayed, "my Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want."
37
Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake for even one hour?"
38
And he said to them, "Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
