Peter said, "Everyone else may stumble in their faith, but I will not."
30
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, tonight before the rooster crows twice you will say three times you don't know me."
31
But Peter insisted, "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.
32
Jesus and his followers went to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, "Sit here while I pray."
33
Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and he began to be very sad and troubled.
34
He said to them, "My heart is full of sorrow, to the point of death. Stay here and watch."
35
After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed that, if possible, he would not have this time of suffering.
36
He prayed, "Abba, Father! You can do all things. Take away this cupn of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want."
37
Then Jesus went back to his followers and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake with me for one hour?
38
Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak."
