Matthew 26:26-30 - The Lord's Supper

²⁶ Now [while] they were eating Jesus took bread and, [after] giving thanks, he broke [it], and giving [it] to the disciples, he said, "Take, eat, this is my body." ²⁷ And [after] taking the cup and giving thanks he gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, ²⁸ for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹ But I tell you, from now [on] I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father." ³⁰ And [after they] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²² And [while] they were eating, he took bread [and], [after] giving thanks, he broke [it] and gave [it] to them and said, "Take [it], this is my body."

²³ And [after] taking the cup [and] giving thanks, he gave [it] to them, and they all drank from it. ²⁴ And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many. ²⁵ Truly I say to you that I will never drink of the fruit of the vine any longer until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." ²⁶ And [after they] had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

¹⁴ And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And 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 not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." ¹⁷ And he took in hand a cup, [and] [after] giving thanks he said, "Take this and share [it] among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

¹⁹ And he took bread, [and] [after] giving 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 And in the same way the cup after [they] had eaten, 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 betraying me [is] with me on the table! ²² For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

²³ And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
