Matt 26:28

26:28 my blood of the covenant. The Mosaic covenant was inaugurated with a sacrifice (Ex. 24:28), and the new covenant prophesied by Jeremiah (Jer. 31:31–34; cf. Luke 22:17–20; 1 Cor. 11:23–25) is inaugurated by the sacrifice of Christ, to which the Lord’s Supper points. See “The Sacraments” at 28:19.
