Mark 14:17–31

^17aWhen it was evening He came with the twelve.

¹⁸As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will ¹betray Me—²one 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, ¹one 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.”

The Lord’s Supper

^22aWhile 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.”

^26aAfter 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 ^1athis very night, before ^ba rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

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