¹⁴When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table. ¹⁵Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.” ¹⁷Then he took a cup and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He said, “Take this, and share it. ¹⁸I can guarantee that from now on I won’t drink this wine until God’s kingdom comes.”

¹⁹Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me.”

²⁰When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new promise^amade with my blood.”

²¹“The hand of the one who will betray me is with me on the table. ²²The Son of Man is going to die the way it has been planned for him. But how horrible it will be for that person who betrays him.”

²³So they began to discuss with each other who could do such a thing.
