Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.

Immediately Jesus sent the man away with a very strong warning.

When it was already late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is an isolated place and it is already very late.

But at this statement, the man looked sad and went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.

Jesus said to him, "I tell you the truth, today -- this very night -- before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

He took Peter, James, and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed.

And very early on the first day of the week, at sunrise, they went to the tomb.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.
