Mark 14:18-21

J.B. Phillips New Testament

The last supper together: the mysterious bread and wine

^17-18 Late in the evening he arrived with the twelve. And while they were sitting there, right in the middle of the meal, Jesus remarked, “Believe me, one of you is going to betray me—someone who is now having his supper with me.”

¹⁹ This shocked and distressed them and one after another they began to say to him, “Surely, I’m not the one?”

^20-21 “It is one of the twelve,” Jesus told them, “a man who is dipping his hand into the dish with me. It is true that the Son of Man will follow the road foretold by the scriptures, but alas for the man through whom he is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”
