And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.
