Luke 22:14-23

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁴ When the time came, Jesus sat down at table with the apostles.

¹⁵ “I have been so much looking forward to eating this Passover with you before I have to suffer,” he said to them. ¹⁶ “For—let me tell you—I won’t eat it again until it’s fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Then he took a cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. ¹⁸ Let me tell you, from now on I won’t drink from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ Then he took some bread. He gave thanks, broke it and gave it to them.

“This is my body,” he said, “which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰ So too, after supper, with the cup: “This cup,” he said, “is the new covenant, in my blood which is shed for you.

²¹ “But look here! Someone here is going to betray me. His hand is with mine at this table. ²² The son of man is indeed going, as it is marked out for him; but woe betide that man by whom he is betrayed!”

²³ They began to ask each other which of them was going to do this.
