The Institution of the Lord's Supper

14 When the hour came, Jesus reclined at the table, and the [fn]twelve apostles were with him. 15 He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you that I will certainly not eat it [fn]again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took [fn]a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you, [fn]I will certainly not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, he also took the cup after they had eaten supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But behold, the hand of the one who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 [fn]The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed.” 23 Then they began to discuss with one another which one of them it could be who would do this.
