the sheep
shall be dispersed:" (28)but after I am risen, I will go before you
into Galilee. (29)Then said Peter unto him, Though all should be
offended, yet will not I. (30)And Jesus saith to him, Verily I tell
thee, That to-day, in the course of this very night, before the cock
crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. (31)But he said with more
vehement assertion, Though I should die with thee, yet would I in no
wise deny thee. And they all spake also in the same manner.
(32)And they come to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to his
disciples, Sit ye here whilst I shall pray. (33)And he taketh Peter,
and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible
dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit: (34)and he saith to
