Matthew 26:19-29

19 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover.

The Last Passover

20 ¹Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

21 As they were eating, He said, "²Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

22 Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?"

23 And He answered, "³He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

24 "The Son of Man is to go, ⁴just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ⁵It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

25 And ⁶Judas, who was betraying Him, said, "Surely it is not I, ⁷Rabbi?" Jesus said to him, "⁸You have said it yourself."

The Lord's Supper Instituted

26 ⁹While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and ¹⁰after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

27 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

28 for ¹¹this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for ¹²many for forgiveness of sins.

29 "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."
