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.”

^22 (A)And as they were eating, he took bread, and after ^(B)blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; ^(C)this is my body.” ²³ And he took a cup, and when he had ^(D)given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. ²⁴ And he said to them, ^(E)“This is my ^(F)blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for ^(G)many. ²⁵ Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

^14 (A)And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I tell you I will not eat it^{[a] (B)}until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷ And he took a cup, and ^(C)when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ^18 (D)For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ^(E)until the kingdom of God comes.” ^19 (F)And he took bread, and ^(G)when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ^(H)“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, ^(I)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(J)the new ^(K)covenant in my blood.^{[b] 21 (L)}But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is ^(M)with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man goes ^(N)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” ²³ And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.

Who Is the Greatest?

^24 (O)A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. ^25 (P)And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^(Q)exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. ^26 (R)But not so with you. Rather, let ^(S)the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. ²⁷ For who is the greater, ^(T)one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But ^(U)I am among you as the one who serves.

²⁸ “You are those who have stayed with me ^(V)in my trials, ²⁹ and ^(W)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, ^30 (X)that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and ^(Y)sit on thrones judging ^(Z)the twelve tribes of Israel.

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.”
