Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(I)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(J)the new ^(K)covenant in my blood.^[b]

And ^(E)he vanished from their sight. ³² They said to each other, ^(F)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he ^(G)opened to us the Scriptures?” ³³ And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they ^(H)found the eleven and ^(I)those who were with them gathered together, ³⁴ saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and ^(J)has appeared to Simon!” ³⁵ Then they told what had happened on the road, and ^(K)how he was known to them in ^(L)the breaking of the bread.
