Mark 14:12-25

12Killing the Passover lamb was customary on the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The disciples asked Jesus, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?”

13He sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city. You will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him.

14When he goes into a house, tell the owner that the teacher asks, ‘Where is my room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’

15He will take you upstairs and show you a large room. The room will be completely furnished. Get everything ready for us there.”

16The disciples left. They went into the city and found everything as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the twelve apostles.

18While they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I can guarantee this truth: One of you is going to betray me, one who is eating with me!”

19Feeling hurt, they asked him one by one, “You don’t mean me, do you?”

20He said to them, “It’s one of you twelve, someone dipping his hand into the bowl with me.

21The Son of Man is going to die as the Scriptures say he will. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays the Son of Man! It would have been better for that person if he had never been born.”

22While they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “Take this. This is my body.”

23Then he took a cup, spoke a prayer of thanksgiving, and gave the cup to them. They all drank from it.

24He said to them, “This is my blood, the blood of the promise. It is poured out for many people.

25“I can guarantee this truth: I won’t drink this wine again until that day when I drink new wine in God’s kingdom.”
