Mark 14:17-31

Amplified Bible

¹⁷ When it was evening, He came with the twelve [disciples].^{(A) 18} While they were reclining at the table, Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”^{(B) 19} They began to be grieved and deeply distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?” ²⁰ And He replied, “It is one of the twelve [disciples], one who is dipping bread in the bowl with Me. ²¹ For the Son of Man goes [to the cross] just as it is written [in Scripture] 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 While they were eating, Jesus took bread and ^[a]blessed it [giving thanks and praise], and He broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take it. This is My body.”^{(C) 23} And when He had taken a cup [of wine] and ^[b]given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.^{(D) 24} And He said to them, “This is My blood of the [new] covenant, [My blood] which is being poured out for many [for the forgiveness of sins]. ²⁵ I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

²⁶ After they had sung a ^[c]hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²⁷ Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away [and be ashamed and be afraid to be associated with Me as disciples], because it is written, ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’^{(E) 28} But after I have been raised [from the dead], I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” ²⁹ But Peter said to Him, “Even if they all fall away [and desert You, ashamed and afraid of being associated with You], yet I will not [do so]!” ³⁰ Jesus said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you will deny [that you even know] Me three times.”^{(F) 31} But Peter kept saying insistently, “If I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing as well.
