Peter page 8 by ric gustafson
With Jesus, they entered the garden past the Kidron Valley. Then Jesus asked Peter, James and John to come with him. Peter could see anguish on his face. Jesus asked them to remain with him and watch with him. Jesus went by himself to pray to his Father. It was getting cold and they were tired. They put their mantles on and fell asleep. They woke up when Jesus spoke to them. Then they went back to sleep. Jesus woke Peter again and asked why he was sleeping. They went back to sleep a third time. Jesus woke them up again and told them his betrayer was at hand. Peter took his sword and cut off the ear of one of the mob. Jesus was calm and healed his ear. He asked the guards to let his friends go. As Jesus predicted, all the disciples including Peter fled into the night. Jesus was arrested.
