Mark 14:17–31

The Passover is Celebrated

Matt. 26:20–25; Luke 22:14–16; John 13:21–30

^17kIn the evening He came with the twelve. ¹⁸Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^lone of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”

¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?” ⁵And another said, “Is it I?”

²⁰He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. ^21mThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”

The Lord’s Supper is Instituted

Matt. 26:26–29; Luke 22:17–23

²²ⁿAnd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, ⁶eat; this is My ^obody.”

²³Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. ²⁴And He said to them, “This is My blood of the ⁷new covenant, which is shed for many. ²⁵Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

Matt. 26:30–35; Luke 22:31–39; John 13:36–38

^26pAnd when they had sung ⁸a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

^27qThen Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble ⁹because of Me this night, for it is written:

^r‘I will strike the Shepherd,

And the sheep will be scattered.’

²⁸“But ^safter I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

^29tPeter said to Him, “Even if all are made to ¹stumble, yet I will not be.”

³⁰Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

³¹But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And they all said likewise.
