Luke 22:14-20

Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 ¹And when the hour came, he reclined at 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 I will not eat it^{[a] 2}until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ”

17 And he took a cup, and ³when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

18 ⁴For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ⁵until the kingdom of God comes. ”

19 ⁶And he took bread, and ⁷when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ⁸“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. ”

20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ⁹“This cup that is poured out for you is ¹⁰the new ¹¹covenant in my blood. ^[b]
