²¹ For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.”

The Institution of the Lord’s Supper

²² While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”^{(A) 23} Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it.^{(B) 24} He said to them, “This is my blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for many.^{(C) 25} Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
