To Gethsemane …
Then, after Jesus had spoken these words and they had all sung the Passover hymn, they departed, walking across the Kidron Valley towards the Mount of Olives, as was Jesus’ custom. [Matthew 26:30, Mark 14:26, Luke 22:39 & John 18:1a]
While they were underway, Jesus turned to them and said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. My children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you show love for one another.” [John 13:31-35]
And then Jesus faced Simon Peter and said, “Truly I tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” [Matthew 26:34] And then Jesus said to them all, “And you will indeed all become deserters; for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ And yet after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” Then Peter said to him, “Even though all become deserters, I will not.” And Jesus turned to him and said, “Truly I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And yet Peter answered vehemently, “Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And the rest of them said the same. [Mark 14:27-31]
