Context of Mark 14:24
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. He 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.” 26After they sang a hymn, they went to the Mount of Olives.
