Exodus 21:26-36 and Mark 14:12-26 (NLT)

Exodus 21:26-36
Personal Injuries

26  “If a man hits his male or female slave in the eye and the eye is blinded, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye.
27  And if a man knocks out the tooth of his male or female slave, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.
28  “If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must be stoned, and its flesh may not be eaten. In such a case, however, the owner will not be held liable.
29  But suppose the ox had a reputation for goring, and the owner had been informed but failed to keep it under control. If the ox then kills someone, it must be stoned, and the owner must also be put to death.
30  However, the dead person’s relatives may accept payment to compensate for the loss of life. The owner of the ox may redeem his life by paying whatever is demanded.
31  “The same regulation applies if the ox gores a boy or a girl.
32  But if the ox gores a slave, either male or female, the animal’s owner must pay the slave’s owner thirty silver coins, and the ox must be stoned.
33  “Suppose someone digs or uncovers a pit and fails to cover it, and then an ox or a donkey falls into it.
34  The owner of the pit must pay full compensation to the owner of the animal, but then he gets to keep the dead animal.
35  “If someone’s ox injures a neighbor’s ox and the injured ox dies, then the two owners must sell the live ox and divide the price equally between them. They must also divide the dead animal.
36  But if the ox had a reputation for goring, yet its owner failed to keep it under control, he must pay full compensation—a live ox for the dead one—but he may keep the dead ox.

Mark 14:12-26
The Lord's Supper

12  On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
13  So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem with these instructions: “As you go into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. 
14  At the house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ 
15  He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.” 
16  So the two disciples went into the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.
17  In the evening Jesus arrived with the twelve disciples. 
18  As they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here will betray me.”
19  Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one?”
20  He replied, “It is one of you twelve who is eating from this bowl with me. 
21  For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
22  As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.”
23  And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24  And he said to them, “This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many. 
25  I tell you the truth, I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
26  Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
