Bread Quote by Anonymous

According to the Gospel of Mark, as they ate, Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples were shocked. Who would betray Jesus?

At the end of the seder, Jesus said, “I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine”—by that he meant wine—“until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” He knew that his enemies were gathering. He knew he would die soon. Afterward, Jesus and the disciples left the room and went to the Mount of Olives. There Jesus gave them another warning. He””
