Yeshua replied, "Yes! I tell you that this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will disown me three times!"
31
But Kefa kept insisting, "Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you!" And they all said the same thing.
32
They went to a place called Gat Sh'manim; and Yeshua said to his talmidim, "Sit here while I pray."
33
He took with him Kefa, Ya`akov and Yochanan. Great distress and anguish came over him;
34
and he said to them, "My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake."
35
Going on a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that if possible, the hour might pass from him:
36
"Abba!" (that is, "Dear Father!") "All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me! Still, not what I want, but what you want."
37
He came and found them sleeping; and he said to Kefa, "Shim`on, are you asleep? Couldn't you stay awake one hour?
38
Stay awake, and pray that you will not be put to the test -- the spirit indeed is eager, but human nature is weak."
39
Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words;
40
and again he came and found them sleeping, their eyes were so very heavy; and they didn't know what to answer him.
