¹⁷ And Jesus answered him, ^(A)“Blessed are you, ^(B)Simon Bar-Jonah! For ^(C)flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, ^(D)but my Father who is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I tell you, ^(E)you are Peter, and ^(F)on this rock^[a] I will build my church, and ^(G)the gates of ^(H)hell^[b] shall not prevail against it.

¹³ For ^(A)in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—^(B)Jews or Greeks, slaves^[a] or free—and ^(C)all were made to drink of one Spirit.

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴² And ^(A)they devoted themselves to the apostles' ^(B)teaching and the ^(C)fellowship, to ^(D)the breaking of bread and the prayers.

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.

^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.” ²⁰ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ^(D)“This cup that is poured out for you is ^(E)the new ^(F)covenant in my blood.^[a]

³ Do you not know that all of us ^(A)who have been baptized ^(B)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

^19 (A)Go therefore and ^(B)make disciples of ^(C)all nations, ^(D)baptizing them ^(E)in^{[a] (F)}the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them ^(G)to observe all that ^(H)I have commanded you. And behold, ^(I)I am with you always, to ^(J)the end of the age.”
