Mark 14:12-16,22-26 NRSVue

12On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13So he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, 14and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16So the disciples set out and went to the city and found everything as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

22While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. 24He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Reflection on Mark 14:12-16,22-26

Inspiration from 2024-06-02 Daily Prayer

Jesus was initiating a new Passover and a new covenant. He pledged fidelity to his followers and promised to nourish them in living as his disciples. Lord, may we who share your table have the openness to be sent forth to be the bread of life to others.

Jesus, you are the Blessed One who was taken, broken and given. You invite us to share your table that we may be broken of our selfishness to be a gift to others, in Your Name. May we be good companions on the journey.
