| 34Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." | 34"Truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." |
| 35Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too. | 35But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same. |
| 36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." | 36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." |

| 40And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? | 40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Couldn't you men keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. |
| 41"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." | 41"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." |
| 42He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." | 42He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." |
| 43Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. | 43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. |
| 44And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. | 44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. |

With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. |
| 48Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him." | 48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him." |
| 49Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. | 49Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him. |
| 50And Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him. | 50Jesus replied, "Do what you came for, friend." Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. |
| 51And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. | 51With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. |
| 52Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. | 52"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. |
| 53"Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? | 53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? |
| 54"How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?" | 54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?" |
| 55At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me. | 55In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. |
| 56"But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled. | 56But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. |
| 57Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. | 57Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. |
| 58But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome. | 58But Peter followed him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat down with the guards to see the outcome. |
| 59Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. | 59The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. |
| 60They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward, | 60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward |
| 61and said, "This man stated, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.'" | 61and declared, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'" |
| 62The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?" | 62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" |
| 63But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God." | 63But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God." |
| 64Jesus said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." | 64"You have said so," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." |
| 65Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy; | 65Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. |
| 66what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!" | 66What do you think?" "He is worthy of death," they answered. |
| 67Then they spat in His face and beat Him with their fists; and others slapped Him, | 67Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him |
| 68and said, "Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?" | 68and said, "Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?" |
| 69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean." | 69Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said. |
| 70But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about." | 70But he denied it before them all. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said. |
| 71When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth." | 71Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, "This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth." |
| 72And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man." | 72He denied it again, with an oath: "I don't know the man!" |
| 73A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away." | 73After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away." |
| 74Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed. | 74Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed. |
| 75And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly. | 75Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly. |
