Mark 14:15-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. He will show you a large room upstairs already furnished. Prepare for us there."

16. The disciples left, came into the city, found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

17. That evening, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18. During the meal, Jesus said, "I assure you that one of you will betray me—someone eating with me."

19. Deeply saddened, they asked him, one by one, "It’s not me, is it?"

20. Jesus answered, "It’s one of the Twelve, one who is dipping bread with me into this bowl.

21. The Human One goes to his death just as it is written about him. But how terrible it is for that person who betrays the Human One! It would have been better for him if he had never been born."

22. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

23. He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
