Luke 22:34-45 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

34. But he replied, “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.”

35. He said to them, “When I sent you forth without a money bag or a sack or sandals, were you in need of anything?” “No, nothing,” they replied.

36. He said to them, “But now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

37. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, namely, ‘He was counted among the wicked’; and indeed what is written about me is coming to fulfillment.”

38. Then they said, “Lord, look, there are two swords here.” But he replied, “It is enough!”

39. Then going out he went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

40. When he arrived at the place he said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.”

41. After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed,

42. saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” [

43. And to strengthen him an angel from heaven appeared to him.

44. He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.]

45. When he rose from prayer and returned to his disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
