Jesus Tells How Peter Will Lie about Him (A)
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will be ashamed of Me and leave Me tonight. For it is written, ‘I will kill the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will spread everywhere.’ (B) 28 After I am raised from the dead, I will go before you into the country of Galilee.” 29 Peter said to Him, “Even if all men are ashamed of You and leave You, I never will.” 30 Jesus said to him, “For sure, I tell you, that today, even tonight, before a rooster crows two times, you will say three times you do not know Me.” 31 Peter spoke with strong words, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never say that I do not know You.” All the followers said the same thing.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (C)
32 They came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to His followers, “You sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter and James and John with Him. He began to have much sorrow and a heavy heart. 34 He said to them, “My soul is very sad. My soul is so full of sorrow I am ready to die. You stay here and watch.” 35 He went a little farther and got down with His face on the ground. He prayed that this time of suffering might pass from Him if it could. 36 He said, “Father, You can do all things. Take away what must happen to Me. Even so, not what I want, but what You want.”
37 Then Jesus came to the followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not be tempted. Man’s spirit wants to do this, but the body does not have the power to do it.”
39 Again Jesus went away and prayed saying the same words. 40 He came back and found them sleeping again. Their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to Him. 41 He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! Listen, the time has come when the Son of Man will be handed over to sinners. 42 Get up and let us go. See! The man who will hand Me over to the head religious leader is near.”
Jesus Handed Over to Sinners (D)
43 At once, while Jesus was talking, Judas came. He was one of the twelve followers. He came with many other men who had swords and sticks. They came from the head religious leaders of the Jews and the teachers of the Law and the leaders of the people. 44 The man who was going to hand Jesus over gave the men something to look for. He said, “The Man I kiss is the One. Take hold of Him and take Him away.”
45 At once Judas went straight to Jesus and said, “Teacher!” and kissed Him. 46 Then they put their hands on Him and took Him.
47 One of the followers of Jesus who stood watching took his sword. He hit the servant owned by the head religious leader and cut off his ear. 48 Jesus said to them, “Have you come with swords and sticks to take Me as if I were a robber? 49 I have been with you every day teaching in the house of God. You never took hold of Me. But this has happened as the Holy Writings said it would happen.” 50 Then all His followers left Him and ran away.
51 A young man was following Him with only a piece of cloth around his body. They put their hands on the young man. 52 Leaving the cloth behind, he ran away with no clothes on.
Jesus Stands in Front of the Head Religious Leaders (E)
53 They led Jesus away to the head religious leader. All the religious leaders and other leaders and the teachers of the Law were gathered there.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(A)
27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:
28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(C)
29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[b] you yourself will disown me three times.”(D)
31 But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you,(E) I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Gethsemane(F)
32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John(G) along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,”(H) he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour(I) might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[c] Father,”(J) he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup(K) from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”(L)
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(M) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(N)
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour(O) has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested(P)
43 Just as he was speaking, Judas,(Q) one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!”(R) and kissed him. 46 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts,(S) and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”(T) 50 Then everyone deserted him and fled.(U)
51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(V)(W)
53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together.
