o the things concerning me have an end.
[22:38]And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to
them, It is sufficient.
CHAPTER XXIX.
CHRIST IN GETHSEMANE AND BEFORE THE SANHEDRIM.
1 [22:39]AND going out, he went, according to his custom to the Mount
of Olives; and the disciples followed him. [22:40]And arriving at the
place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into trial.
[22:41]And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and kneeling
down, prayed, [22:42]saying, Father, if thou wilt, take this cup away
from me; but not my will, but thine be done. [22:43]And an angel
appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. [22:44]And being in
agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat was like large drops of
blood falling down to the ground. [22:45]And rising from prayer, and
coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief, [22:46]and

the house of the chief priest; and Peter followed at a distance.
[22:55]And they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and
sat down, Peter sat in the midst of them. [22:56]And a certain female
servant seeing him sitting by the light, and looking steadily at him,
said, This man also was with him. [22:57] But he denied him, saying, I
