32 But I have prayedh for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengtheni your brothers.”

33 “Lord,”j he told him, “I’m ready to go with you both to prison and to death.”

34 “I tell you, Peter,” he said, “the rooster will not crow today untilB you deny three times that you know me.”

BE READY FOR TROUBLE

35 He also said to them, “When I sent you outk without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

36 Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. 37 For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me:C And he was counted among the lawless.D,l Yes, what is written about me is coming to its fulfillment.”m

38 “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

“That is enough!” he told them.

THE PRAYER IN THE GARDEN

39 He went out and made his wayn as usualo to the Mount of Olives,p and the disciples followed him. 40 When he reached the place,q he told them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”r 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,s 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cupt away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

43 Then an angel from heavenu appeared to him, strengthening him.
