Lent - March 30

Mark 14:26-42

26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'28But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."  29Peter said to him, "Even though they all fall away, I will not." 30And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."  31But he said emphatically, "If I must die with you, I will not deny you." And they all said the same. 

32And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."  33And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch."  35And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."  37And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?  38Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."  39And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41And he came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.  42Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
