Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial^(A)

^31 [a]And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, ^(B)Satan has asked for you, that he may ^(C)sift you as wheat. ³² But ^(D)I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, ^(E)strengthen your brethren.”

³³ But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

^34 (F)Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

Supplies for the Road

^35 (G)And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”

So they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶ Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. ³⁷ For I say to you that this which is written must still be ^[b]accomplished in Me: ^(H)‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”

³⁸ So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.”

And He said to them, “It is enough.”

The Prayer in the Garden^(I)

^39 (J)Coming out, ^(K)He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. ^40 (L)When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

^41 (M)And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless ^(N)not My will, but Yours, be done.” ^43 [c]Then ^(O)an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. ^44 (P)And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵ When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. ⁴⁶ Then He said to them, “Why ^(Q)do you sleep? Rise and ^(R)pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane^(S)

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, ^(T)behold, a multitude; and he who was called ^(U)Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a ^(V)kiss?”

⁴⁹ When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” ⁵⁰ And ^(W)one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

^52 (X)Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a ^(Y)robber, with swords and clubs? ⁵³ When I was with you daily in the ^(Z)temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your ^(AA)hour, and the power of darkness.”
