with friends like these... (Luke 22:7-46)
Knowing his time has nearly come, he gathers his friends for a meal and an invitation to remember him.
His followers miss the point and instead argue about who is the greatest.
Certainly it is Peter, but Jesus tells them that Peter will deny knowing Jesus three times before the sun rises the following day.
Rejection and redemption are at hand as his friends desert him and fall asleep while he prays in agony to his father.
Jesus' time has come.
