Matthew 26:17–29

¹⁷Now on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? ¹⁸And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples. ¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover. ²⁰And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve. ²¹And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. ²²And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it I, Lord? ²³But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is who shall deliver me up. ²⁴The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born. ²⁵And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, Thou hast said.

²⁶And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. ²⁷And having taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it. ²⁸For this is my blood, that of the new covenant, that shed for many for remission of sins. ²⁹But I say to you, that I will not at all drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.
