Mark 14:12-25

12On the first day [of the festival] of Unleavened Bread, when [as was customary] they sacrificed the Passover lamb, His disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

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

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

15He will show you a large upstairs room, furnished and ready [with carpets and dining couches]; prepare [the supper] for us there.”

16The disciples left and went to the city and found everything just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

17When it was evening, He came with the twelve [disciples].

18While they were reclining at the table, Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”

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

20And He replied, “It is one of the twelve [disciples], one who is dipping bread in the bowl with Me.

21For the Son of Man goes [to the cross] just as it is written [in Scripture] 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 not been born.”

22While they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it [giving thanks and praise], and He broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take it. This is My body.”

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

24And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [new] covenant, [My blood] which is being poured out for many [for the forgiveness of sins].

25I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
