Institution of the Lord's Supper

^26 (A)Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and ^(B)after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; ^(C)this is my body.” ²⁷ And he took a cup, and when he ^(D)had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, ²⁸ for ^(E)this is my ^(F)blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for ^(G)many ^(H)for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹ I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you ^(I)in my Father's kingdom.”

²⁴ And he said to them, ^(A)“This is my ^(B)blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for ^(C)many.

^16 (A)The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? ^(B)The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because there is one bread, we who are many are ^(C)one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

³⁰ When he was at table with them, he took the bread and ^(A)blessed and broke it and gave it to them.

^18 (A)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ^(B)until the kingdom of God comes.” ^19 (C)And he took bread, and ^(D)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(E)“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(F)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(G)the new ^(H)covenant in my blood.^[a]

²³ For ^(A)I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that ^(B)the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for^[a] you. Do this in remembrance of me.”^{[b] 25} In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” ²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death ^(C)until he comes.

^27 (D)Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord ^(E)in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning ^(F)the body and blood of the Lord. ^28 (G)Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

^48 (A)I am the bread of life. ^49 (B)Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and ^(C)they died. ^50 (D)This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it ^(E)and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread ^(F)that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give ^(G)for the life of the world is ^(H)my flesh.”

⁵² The Jews then ^(I)disputed among themselves, saying, ^(J)“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” ⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of ^(K)the Son of Man and drink his blood, you ^(L)have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(M)has eternal life, and ^(N)I will raise him up on the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood ^(O)abides in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As ^(P)the living Father ^(Q)sent me, and ^(R)I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ^58 (S)This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread^[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

²³ Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord ^(A)had given thanks.
