Mark 14:12–21

The Passover Meal

^12aAnd on the first day of ^bUnleavened Bread, when ¹the Passover lamb was being ^csacrificed, His disciples ^*said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

¹³And He ^*sent two of His disciples and ^*said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

¹⁴and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My ^aguest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’

¹⁵“And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”

¹⁶And the disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

^17aAnd when it was evening He ^*came with the twelve.

¹⁸And as they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will ¹betray Me—the one who is eating with Me.”

¹⁹They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

²⁰And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, the one who dips with Me in the bowl.

²¹“For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man ¹by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good ²for that man if he had not been born.”
