Mark 14:21 in context

The verses around it, from Mark 14.

17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18 And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19 They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20 He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

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

24 He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

25 Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
