Jesus’ final arrest

I'll help you compile a comprehensive list of passages from the gospels that describe the disciples' reactions on the night of Jesus' arrest. I'll go through each gospel chronologically and note their specific accounts.

1. Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 26):

Verses 36-46: In Gethsemane, the disciples fall asleep multiple times while Jesus prays, despite his request for them to stay awake and watch

Verse 56: "Then all the disciples deserted him and fled" when Jesus was arrested

Verse 69-75: Peter's denial of Jesus, as predicted earlier

2. Gospel of Mark (Chapter 14):

Verses 32-42: Similar to Matthew, the disciples fall asleep while Jesus prays in Gethsemane

Verse 50: "Then everyone deserted him and fled" during Jesus' arrest

Verses 66-72: Peter's threefold denial of Jesus

3. Gospel of Luke (Chapter 22):

Verses 39-46: Disciples sleep while Jesus prays, despite his instruction to pray to avoid temptation

Verse 54: "Peter followed at a distance" after Jesus' arrest

Verses 54-62: Peter's denial of Jesus, with Jesus turning and looking at Peter after the third denial

4. Gospel of John (Chapter 18):

Verses 1-11: Shows the disciples present during Jesus' arrest, with Peter drawing a sword and cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant

Verses 15-18 and 25-27: Detailed account of Peter's denials

These passages reveal the disciples' complex emotional and psychological state that night: fear, confusion, sleepiness, abandonment, and ultimately, Peter's denial. The accounts consistently show the disciples' human weakness in contrast to Jesus' resolve and foreknowledge of the events.

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these passages or provide more context about the disciples' reactions?
