The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
33 Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
36 At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
