At the Last Supper,Passover meal with apostles. After passing around a glass of wine and drinking.
Mark 14:24 ... This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Mark 14:24 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,
Mark 14:24 This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many.
This is the blood of mine, for this contract, the one being poured out on the behalf of many
Though translated as "testament/covenant," the Greek word means a will and more generally, a "contract" between two parties. Jesus only uses this will three times, here and in its parallels in the two other gospels. Jesus is specifically referring to a Judean tradition arising from the Old Testament. The Hebrew/Aramaic word for making a contract is בְּרִית, beriyth. Beriyth means literally “to cut a covenant.” The noun form is bris, the name of the ceremony of circumcision. Traditionally, the parties made a small cut made so they could mix their blood. So Jesus was cleverly redefining an old tradition with a more pleasant one: drinking wine to share his blood.
The verb meaning "being poured out" ("shed" and "poured out" in KJV) is the same word in the same form at that in Matthew 23:35 where Jesus says, "So on it might show up upon you, all blood of virtue, being poured out upon the earth," but the preposition following is different. Here the preposition means "over" in the sense of "on behalf of" which gets translated as "for." This plays on the double meaning of "over" as "on behalf of" and "upon." The preposiion primarily meaning in the earlier verse primarily means "upon."
It is easier to agree upon the wine in us than the blood upon us.

This -- The word translated as "this" means "from here" or "this/that thing."
is --The verb here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition.
missing "the" -- (MW) The untranslated word is the Greek definite article, which usually precedes a noun and, without a noun, takes the meaning of "the one." The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
my -- "My" is the first-person possessive singular pronoun. This pronoun follows the noun so "of mine."
blood "Blood" is from the Greek word that means "blood", "bloodshed," and "kinship." Its common double meaning of bloodshed and kinship.
of -- This word "of" comes from the genitive case of the following word that required the addition of a preposition in English. The most common is the "of" of possession, but it can also mean "belonging to," "part of", "which is", "than" (in comparisons), or "for", "concerning" or "about" with transitive verbs.
