Love-See it in Action Part 2 NKJV


See it in Action

Matthew 26:36-47 Then Jesus came to them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”                                          

And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.                

Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death, “Stay here and watch with Me.”

He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?                                                                          

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation, The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”                                    

Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, 

“O My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”  

And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.                                                      

Then he came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners,                                                                

“Rise, let us be going, See, My betrayer is at hand.”                  

And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
Matthew 26:57-75 And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

Now the chief priests, the elders,  and all the counsel sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,

but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward.

and said, This fellow said,'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"

And the high priest arose and said to Him, "DO you answer nothing?" What is it these men testify against You?"

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God; Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

Jesus said to him, "It is as you said, Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of God sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!"

"What do you think?' They answered and said, "He is deserving of death."

Then they spat on His face and beat Him, and others stuck Him with the palms of their hands,

saying, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?"

Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying,"You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

But he denied it before them all, "I do not know what you are saying."

And when he had gone out of the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth."

But again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the man."

And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for you speech betrays you."

Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man!" immediately a rooster crowed.

And Peter remembered to word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times. So he went out and wept bitterly.
