Mark 14:17–31

¹⁷And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve, ¹⁸and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, ‘Verily I say to you—one of you, who is eating with me—shall deliver me up.’ ¹⁹And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, ‘Is it I?’ and another, ‘Is it I?’ ²⁰And he answering said to them, ‘One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish; ²¹the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.’ ²²And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’ ²³And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it—all; ²⁴and he said to them, ‘This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out; ²⁵verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.’ ²⁶And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives, ²⁷and Jesus saith to them—‘All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, ²⁸but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.’ ²⁹And Peter said to him, ‘And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;’ ³⁰And Jesus said to him, ‘Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.’ ³¹And he spake the more vehemently, ‘If it may be necessary for me to die with thee—I will in no wise deny thee;’ and in like manner also said they all.
