* "
Simon ,
Simon ,
behold ,
Satan demanded to have you ,
that he might sift you like wheat ,
*
but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail ;
and when you have turned again ,
strengthen your brethren ."
*
And he said to him , "
Lord ,
I am ready to go with you to prison and to death ."
*
He said , "
I tell you ,
Peter ,
the cock will not crow this day ,
until you three times deny that you know me ."
*
And he said to them , "
When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals ,
did you lack anything ?"
They said , "
Nothing ."
*
He said to them , "
But now ,
let him who has a purse take it ,
and likewise a bag .
And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one .
*
For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me , `
And he was reckoned with transgressors ';
for what is written about me has its fulfilment ."
*
And they said , "
Look ,
Lord ,
here are two swords ."
And he said to them , "
It is enough ."
*
And he came out ,
and went ,
as was his custom ,
to the Mount of Olives ;
and the disciples followed him .
*
And when he came to the place he said to them , "
Pray that you may not enter into temptation ."
*
And he withdrew from them about a stone '
s throw ,
and knelt down and prayed ,
* "
Father ,
if thou art willing ,
remove this cup from me ;
nevertheless not my will ,
but thine ,
be done ."
*
And when he rose from prayer ,
he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow ,
*
and he said to them , "
Why do you sleep ?
Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation ."
*
While he was still speaking ,
there came a crowd ,
and the man called Judas ,
one of the twelve ,
was leading them .
He drew near to Jesus to kiss him ;
*
but Jesus said to him , "
Judas ,
would you betray the Son of man with a kiss ?"
*
And when those who were about him saw what would follow ,
they said , "
Lord ,
shall we strike with the sword ?"
*
And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear .
*
But Jesus said , "
No more of this !"
And he touched his ear and healed him .
*
Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders ,
who had come out against him , "
Have you come out as against a robber ,
with swords and clubs ?
*
When I was with you day after day in the temple ,
you did not lay hands on me .
But this is your hour ,
and the power of darkness ."
*
Then they seized him and led him away ,
bringing him into the high priest '
s house .
Peter followed at a distance ;
*
and when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together ,
Peter sat among them .
