Mark 14:22–31

The Lord’s Supper

^22aAnd while they were eating, He took some bread, and ¹after a ^bblessing, He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

²³And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

²⁴And He said to them, “This is My ^ablood of the ^bcovenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵“Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

^26aAnd after singing a hymn, they went out to ^bthe Mount of Olives.

^27aAnd Jesus ^*said to them, “You will all ¹fall away, because it is written, ‘^bI will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’

²⁸“But after I have been raised, ^aI will go ahead of you to Galilee.”

²⁹But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may ¹fall away, yet I will not.”

³⁰And Jesus ^*said to him, “Truly I say to you, that ^atoday, this very night, before ^ba rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

³¹But Peter kept saying insistently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.
