Mark 14:12-26

The Last Passover

12 ¹On the first day of ²Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being ³sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

13 And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

14 and wherever * he enters, say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is My ⁴guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

15 "And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there."

16 The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

17 ⁵When it was evening He came with the twelve.

18 As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me-one who is eating with Me."

19 They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, "Surely not I?"

20 And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

21 "For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

The Lord's Supper

22 ⁶While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a ⁷blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."

23 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24 And He said to them, "This is My ⁸blood of the ⁹covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 "Truly I say to you, I will never * again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

26 ¹⁰After singing a hymn, they went out to ¹¹the Mount of Olives.
