Matthew 26:31-37 Modern English Version (MEV)

31. Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd,and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’

32. But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee.”

33. Peter answered, “Though all men will fall away on account of You, yet I will never fall away.”

34. Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35. Peter said to Him, “Though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You.” And all the disciples spoke in this manner.

36. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray close by.”

37. He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and troubled.
