Mark 14:19-29

The followers were very sad to hear this. Each one said to Jesus, “Surely I am not the one!” Jesus answered, “It is one of you twelve—the one who is dipping his bread in the same bowl with me. The Son of Man will suffer what the Scriptures say will happen to him. But it will be very bad for the one who hands over the Son of Man to be killed. It would be better for him if he had never been born.” While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to his followers and said, “Take and eat this bread. It is my body.” Then he took a cup of wine, thanked God for it, and gave it to them. They all drank from the cup. Then he said, “This wine is my blood, which will be poured out for many to begin the new agreement from God to his people. I want you to know, I will not drink this wine again until that day when I drink it in God’s kingdom and the wine is new.” They all sang a song and then went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus told the followers, “You will all lose your faith. The Scriptures say, ‘I will kill the shepherd, and the sheep will run away.’ But after I am killed, I will rise from death. Then I will go to Galilee. I will be there before you come.” Peter said, “All the other followers may lose their faith. But my faith will never be shaken.”
