Jeremiah 31:31-34

New International Version

³¹“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant^(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
³²It will not be like the covenant^(B)
    I made with their ancestors^(C)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,^(D)
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband^(E) to^[a] them,^[b]”
declares the Lord.
³³“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds^(F)
    and write it on their hearts.^(G)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(H)
³⁴No longer will they teach^(I) their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know^(J) me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive^(K) their wickedness
    and will remember their sins^(L) no more.”

Hebrews 10:15-25

New International Version

¹⁵The Holy Spirit also testifies^(A) to us about this. First he says:

¹⁶“This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”^[a]^(B)

¹⁷Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”^[b]^(C)

¹⁸And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

A Call to Persevere in Faith

¹⁹Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence^(D) to enter the Most Holy Place^(E) by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by a new and living way^(F) opened for us through the curtain,^(G) that is, his body, ²¹and since we have a great priest^(H) over the house of God,^(I) ²²let us draw near to God^(J) with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,^(K) having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience^(L) and having our bodies washed with pure water.^(M) ²³Let us hold unswervingly to the hope^(N) we profess,^(O) for he who promised is faithful.^(P) ²⁴And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,^(Q) ²⁵not giving up meeting together,^(R) as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another^(S)—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.^(T)

The Last Supper^(A)^(B)^(C)^(D)^(E)

⁷Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.^(F) ⁸Jesus sent Peter and John,^(G) saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

⁹“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

¹⁰He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, ¹¹and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ ¹²He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

¹³They left and found things just as Jesus had told them.^(H) So they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles^(I) reclined at the table.^(J) ¹⁵And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.^(K) ¹⁶For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”^(L)

¹⁷After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. ¹⁸For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,^(M) and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

²⁰In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant^(N) in my blood, which is poured out for you.^[a]
