MARK 14:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.”
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many, he said to them — this is my blood of the covenant echoes the Sinai covenant ratification (Exodus 24:8: this is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you). The new covenant in Jeremiah 31:31–34 promised a new covenant to replace the one Israel broke. Poured out for many: the same ransom-for-many language as Mark 10:45 — the substitutionary giving of Jesus' life for many.
