Luke 22:14-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The First Lord’s Supper

¹⁴ When^(A) the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. ¹⁵ Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I tell you, I will not eat it again^[a] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”^{(B) 17} Then He took a cup,^(C) and after giving thanks,^(D) He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is My body,^(E) which is given for you. Do this in remembrance^(F) of Me.”

²⁰ In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant^(G) established by My blood;^(H) it is shed for you.^{[b] 21} But^(I) look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!^{(J) 22} For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined,^(K) but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

²³ So they began to argue^(L) among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.
