     05/22 - GospeL Verses 

30 - And when they had sung a hymn, they went out of the city to the mountainside of olives. 31 Then Jesus said, “You will all fall away this night. For it’s written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 32 But after I’m raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

     33 Peter said, “Though they all fall away from you, I will never fall away!” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

     36 Then they went to the garden called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here, while I go a little ways to pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee (John and James) he began to be troubled and sorrowful. 38 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. {I feel like it’s killing me.} Remain here, and watch [grégoreó - watch, be vigilant, stay awake] with me.” 39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. But, not as I will, as you will.” {Something strong enough to appease eveRy conscience. After all, imperfection, besides being entropy/gehenna, is an abyss of potential. Already proven many times.} 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Could you not watch with me for one hour? 41 Watch and pray you don’t enter into temptation for the spirit is willing, but human nature is weak.” {And easily led away?} 42 Again, for a second time, he prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, let your will be done.” 43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So, leaving them again, he prayed for a third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “You’ll have to sleep and take your rest later, see the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. My betrayer is at hand.”
