Mark 14:22-32

The First Lord's Supper

22 As they were eating, He took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take [it]; ^[a] this is My body."

23 Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them, and so they all drank from it.

24 He said to them, "This is My blood [that establishes] the covenant; ^[b] it is shed for many.

25 I assure you: I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way ^[c] in the kingdom of God."

26 After singing psalms,^[d] they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Peter's Denial Predicted

27 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you will run away, ^{[e] [f]} because it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. ^[g]

28 But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

29 Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not!"

30 "I assure you," Jesus said to him, "today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times!"

31 But he kept insisting, "If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!" And they all said the same thing.

The Prayer in the Garden

32 Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
