27. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, All of you will fall away, for it has been written, I will strike down ES HAROEH UTEFUTEN HATZON (the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered). [ZECHARYAH 13:7]
28. But after I am made to stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMoshiach, I will go before you into the Galil.
29. But Shimon Kefa said to him, Even if everyone will fall away, yet I will not.
30. And he says to him, Omein, I say to you, that you today, balailah hazeh (during this night) before the tarnegol crows twice, you will make hakhchashah (denial) of me shalosh paamim (three times).
31. But Kefa kept saying with vehemence, If it is necessary for me to die al kiddush ha-Shem for you, by no means will I make hakhchashah of you. And so also everyone declared.
32. And they come to a place of which the name [was] Gat Shmanim and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to his talmidim, Sit down here while I daven.
33. And he takes Kefa and Yaakov and Yochanan with him and he began to be distressed and to be troubled.
34. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My agmat nefesh (grief) is great, even to the point of mavet (death). Remain here and stay awake and shomer (on guard).
35. And having gone forth a little, he was falling on the ground and was davening that, if it is possible, this shaah (hour) might pass from him.
36. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, Abba, Avi, all things [are] possible for you. Take away this KOS [YESHAYAH 51:17; 53:12] from me. But not what I will, but what you [will].
37. And he comes and finds them sleeping, and he says to Shimon Kefa, Are you sleeping? Did you not have chozek (strength) to stay awake one hour?
