1. And when Jesus had said these things, and they had sung a hymn, He went forth with His disciples, according to the custom, over the brook Cedron to the Mount of Olives, where there was a garden. Then Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in Me this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed. But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.<br><br>2. But Peter answering said to Him: Although all men shall be scandalized in Thee, I will never be scandalized. And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice. But Peter spoke the more vehemently and saith to Him: Although I should die together with Thee, I will not deny Thee. And in like manner also said they all.<br><br>3. Then Jesus came with them to a country place, a farm, which is called Gethsemani. And He said to His disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
