Mark 14:22-35

New King James Version

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper^(A)

^22 (B)And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, ^[a]eat; this is My ^(C)body.”

²³ Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. ²⁴ And He said to them, “This is My blood of the ^[b]new covenant, which is shed for many. ²⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

^26 (D)And when they had sung ^[c]a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial^(E)

^27 (F)Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble ^[d]because of Me this night, for it is written:

²⁸ “But ^(H)after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”

^29 (I)Peter said to Him, “Even if all are made to ^[e]stumble, yet I will not be.”

³⁰ Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

³¹ But he spoke more vehemently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And they all said likewise.

The Prayer in the Garden^(J)

^32 (K)Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³ And He ^(L)took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. ³⁴ Then He said to them, ^(M)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”

³⁵ He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
