¹⁷ And he took a cup, and ^(A)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.

^19 (A)And he took bread, and ^(B)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(C)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

⁴ For ^(A)everything created by God is good, and ^(B)nothing is to be rejected if it is ^(C)received with thanksgiving, ⁵ for it is made holy ^(D)by the word of God and prayer.

⁶ The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since ^(A)he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.

¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, ^(A)he looked up to heaven and ^(B)said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

⁷ No one shall ^(A)break bread for the mourner, to comfort him for the dead, nor shall anyone give him the cup of consolation to drink for his father or his mother.

¹³ As soon as you enter the city you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately.”

¹⁰ And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
