 [34 ](/kjv/matthew/26/34) Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/matthew/26/35) Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/matthew/26/36) ¶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/26/37) And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/26/38) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/matthew/26/39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou *wilt*.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/matthew/26/40) And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
