Luke 22:31-62

³¹Then the Lord said: “Simon, Simon! Indeed Satan has asked for you (pl) so as to sift you like wheat.

³²But I have prayed for you (sg) so that your faith not fail completely; so you, when you have recovered, strengthen your brothers.”

³³But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴So He said, “I say to you, Peter, no rooster can crow today before you deny three times that you know me!”

³⁵Then He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”

³⁶So He said to them: “But now, he who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword must sell his garment and buy one.

³⁷Because I say to you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was classed with the lawless’; and because the things concerning me have an end.”

³⁸So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

³⁹Then going out He went to the Mount of Olives, as His custom was, and His disciples followed Him.

⁴⁰When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray, so as not to enter into temptation.”

⁴¹Then He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down and prayed,

⁴²saying, “Father, if you would just remove this cup from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done!”

⁴³Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

⁴⁴And being in anguish He prayed with total concentration; then His sweat became like clots of blood, falling to the ground.

⁴⁵When He rose up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

⁴⁶He said to them: “Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, that you may not enter into temptation!”

⁴⁷But while He was still speaking—wow, a crowd; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them! He approached Jesus to kiss Him (he had given them this sign, “Whomever I kiss, it is he”).

⁴⁸So Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of the Man with a kiss?”

⁴⁹When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

⁵⁰And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear!

⁵¹But Jesus reacted by saying, “Allow at least this!” and touching his ear He healed him.

⁵²Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and elders who had come against Him: “Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a bandit?

⁵³When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour; even the authority of the darkness!”

⁵⁴Then they seized, took and brought Him to the house of the high priest, with Peter following at a distance.

⁵⁵Now when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁶Then a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man also was with him.”

⁵⁷But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”

⁵⁸After a little while another saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”

⁵⁹Then after about an hour had passed, another started insisting, “Surely this fellow also was with him, because he is a Galilean.”

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

⁶¹And the Lord turned and looked directly at Peter; then Peter remembered the Lord's word, how He had said to him, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”

⁶²And going outside he wept bitterly.
