Matthew 26:17–29

¹⁷And on the first day of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, ‘Where wilt thou that we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?’ ¹⁸and he said, ‘Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;’ ¹⁹and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover. ²⁰And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve, ²¹and while they are eating, he said, ‘Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.’ ²²And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, ‘Is it I, Sir?’ ²³And he answering said, ‘He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up; ²⁴the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.’ ²⁵And Judas—he who delivered him up—answering said, ‘Is it I, Rabbi?’ He saith to him, ‘Thou hast said.’

²⁶And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat, this is my body;’ ²⁷and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, ‘Drink ye of it—all; ²⁸for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out—to remission of sins; ²⁹and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.’
