When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.”

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

“Why are you troubled,” Jesus asked, “and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

While they were still in disbelief because of their joy and amazement, He asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
