(24) Which is shed for many.--Better, is being shed, the participle, both here and in St. Matthew, being in the present tense.

Verse 24. - This is my blood of the covenant. There is not sufficient authority for the retaining of the word "new" (καινῆς) in the text.

Mark 14:24 captures the heart of the gospel in a single sentence. Jesus, speaking with divine authority, identifies the cup as His very own blood, the foundation of the promised new covenant. That blood will be literally poured out at the cross, accomplishing full atonement. Its saving power extends to “many”—a global family of believers who place their faith in Him. In the Lord’s Supper we remember, celebrate, and proclaim this unbreakable covenant secured by the precious blood of Christ.
