Narrator: Peter said to Him, Commentator: Even though all should have their faith shaken, mine will not be. Narrator: Then Jesus said to him, Priest: Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times. But he vehemently replied, Narrator: Commentator: Even though I should have to die with you, I will not deny you. Narrator: And they all spoke similarly. Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, Priest: Sit here while I pray. Narrator: He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be troubled and distressed. Then He said to them, Priest: My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch. Narrator: He advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass by Him; He said, Priest: Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but not what I will but what you will. Narrator: When He returned, He found them asleep. He said to Peter, Priest: Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Narrator: Withdrawing again, He prayed, saying the same thing. Then He returned once more and found them asleep, for they could not keep their eyes open, and did not know what to answer Him. He returned a third time and said to them, Priest: Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has come.
