Mark 14:23-33

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 ¹blood of the ²covenant, 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 ³After singing a hymn, they went out to ⁴the Mount of Olives.

27 ⁵And Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away, because it is written, '⁶I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

28 "But after I have been raised, ⁷I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

29 But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away, yet I will not."

30 And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that ⁸this very night, before ⁹a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."

31 But Peter kept saying insistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.
