The Lord’s Supper

^14 (A)When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and ^(B)the apostles with Him. ¹⁵ And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; ¹⁶ for I say to you, I shall not eat it again ^(C)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ^17 (D)And when He had taken a cup and ^(E)given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; ¹⁸ for ^(F)I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” ¹⁹ And when He had taken some bread and ^(G)given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁰ And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup, which is ^(H)poured out for you, is the ^(I)new covenant in My blood. ^21 (J)But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with ^[a]Mine on the table. ²² For indeed, the Son of Man is going ^(K)as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

^17 (A)From that time Jesus began to ^[a]preach and say, “^(B)Repent, for the kingdom of heaven ^[b]is at hand.”

The Cure for Anxiety

²⁵ “^(A)For this reason I say to you, ^[a]do not be ^(B)worried about your ^[b]life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? ^26 (C)Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? ²⁷ And which of you by ^(D)worrying can ^(E)add a single ^[c]day to his ^[d]life’s span? ²⁸ And why are you ^(F)worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even ^(G)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the ^(H)grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? ^(I)You of little faith! ³¹ Do not ^(J)worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ ³² For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for ^(K)your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But ^[e]seek first ^[f]His kingdom and His righteousness, and ^(L)all these things will be ^[g]provided to you.

^41 (A)The Son of Man ^(B)will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom ^[a]all ^(C)stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, ⁴² and they ^(D)will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place ^(E)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ^43 (F)Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. ^(G)The one who has ears, ^[b]let him hear.
