Luke 22:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:20

Likewise also the cup after supper
Both after the passover, and the Lord's supper; that is, he took the cup after they had eaten the bread, and gave thanks over it, and gave it to his disciples, bidding them drink of it, as in ( Matthew 26:27 ) , (See Gill on Matthew 26:27): saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for
you.
The Ethiopic version reads, "for many"; as in ( Matthew 26:28 ) where it is added, "for the remission of sins"; (See Gill on Matthew 26:28).
