Mark 14:20 In-Context

18 And [while] they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you who is eating with me will betray me."

19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, "Surely not I?"

20 But he said to them, "[It is] one of the twelve--the one who is dipping [bread] into the bowl with me.

21 For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It would be] better for him if that man had not been born."

22 And [while] they were eating, he took bread [and], [after] giving thanks, he broke [it] and gave [it] to them and said, "Take [it], this is my body."
