Mark 14:27-39 English Standard Version (ESV)

27. And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

28. But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”

29. Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.”

30. And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”

31. But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.

32. And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33. And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

34. And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”

35. And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36. And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

37. And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

38. Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39. And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
