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

²⁶ While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and 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, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹ I tell you, from now on I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." ³⁰ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

²² While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, 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 He said to them, "This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many. ²⁵ I tell you the truth, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." ²⁶ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

¹⁴ Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined 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, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." ¹⁷ Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

¹⁹ Then 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 he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. ²¹ "But look, the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

²³ So they began to question one another as to which of them it could possibly be who would do this.
