Mark 14:17–26

¹⁷When evening came, Jesus arrived with the twelve apostles. 

Jesus Knows Who Will Betray Him—Matthew 26:21–25; Luke 22:21–23; John 13:21–30

¹⁸While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me!” 

¹⁹Feeling hurt, they asked him one by one, “You don’t mean me, do you?” 

²⁰He said to them, “It’s one of you twelve, someone dipping his hand into the bowl with me. ²¹The Son of Man is going to die as the Scriptures say he will. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays the Son of Man! It would have been better for that person if he had never been born.” 

The Lord’s Supper—Matthew 26:26–30; Luke 22:19–20

²²While they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “Take this. This is my body.” 

²³Then he took a cup, spoke a prayer of thanksgiving, and gave the cup to them. They all drank from it. ²⁴He said to them, “This is my blood, the blood of the promise.^aIt is poured out for many people. 

²⁵“I can guarantee this truth: I won’t drink this wine again until that day when I drink new wine in God’s kingdom.” 

²⁶After they sang a hymn, they went to the Mount of Olives.
