Mark 14:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:26

And when they had sung an hymn
The Hallell, used at the passover: they went out into the Mount of Olives;
Christ, and eleven of his disciples; for Judas now separated from them, and went to the chief priests to acquaint them how things were, where Jesus was going, and where they might apprehend him; (See Gill on Matthew 26:30).

24 and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out;

25 verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.'

28 but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'
