Mark 14:17–31

^17wAnd when it was evening, he came with the twelve. ¹⁸And as they were reclining at table and eating, ^xJesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, ^yone who is eating with me.” ¹⁹They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” ²⁰He said to them, “It is ^zone of the twelve, ^yone who is dipping bread into the dish with me. ²¹For the Son of Man goes ^aas it is written of him, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^cIt would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

^22dAnd as they were eating, he took bread, and after ^eblessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; ^fthis is my body.” ²³And he took a cup, and when he had ^ggiven thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. ²⁴And he said to them, ^f“This is my ^hblood of the³ covenant, which is poured out for ⁱmany. ²⁵Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

^26jAnd when they had sung a hymn, ^kthey went out to ^lthe Mount of Olives. ²⁷And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will ^mstrike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ²⁸But after I am raised up, ⁿI will go before you to Galilee.” ^29oPeter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” ³⁰And ^pJesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before ^qthe rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” ³¹But ^rhe said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
