²³ For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread

¹⁹ He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

²⁷ And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, ²⁸ for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant^[a] between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.

²⁵ In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”

²⁹ Mark my words—I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

²⁶ For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
