Context of Mark 14:23
21The Son of Man must die in the way that the Bible says. But it will be very bad for the man who gives me to my enemies. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.’ 22While Jesus and his disciples were eating, he took a loaf of bread. He thanked God for it. Then he broke the bread into pieces. He gave some of it to each of his disciples. ‘Take this bread and eat it,’ he said to them. ‘This is my body.’ Then Jesus took a cup. He thanked God for the wine in the cup. Then he gave the cup to them and they all drank from it. 24Jesus said to them, ‘This is my blood that shows God's promise. When I die, my blood will pour out of my body. In that way God will save many people. That is the promise that God makes because of my death. 25I tell you this: I will not drink wine again until God rules in his kingdom. Then it will be new wine.’
