The Lord’s Supper

22:14 Now36 when the hour came, Jesus37 took his place at the table38 and the apostles joined39 him. 22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired40 to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 22:16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again41 until it is fulfilled42 in the kingdom of God.”43 22:17 Then44 he took a cup,45 and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. 22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit46 of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”47 22:19 Then48 he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body49 which is given for you.50 Do this in remembrance of me.” 22:20 And in the same way he took51 the cup after they had eaten,52 saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant53 in my blood.
