The First Lord’s Supper

²² As^(A) they were eating, He took bread,^(B) blessed and broke^(C) it, gave it to them,^(D) and said, “Take it;^[a] this is My body.”^(E)

²³ Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks,^(F) He gave it to them, and so they all drank from it. ²⁴ He said to them, “This is My blood that establishes the covenant;^[b](G) it is shed^(H) for many.^{(I) 25} I assure you:^(J) I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine^(K) until that day when I drink it in a new^(L) way^[c] in the kingdom of God.”^(M)

¹⁷ Then He took a cup,^(A) and after giving thanks,^(B) He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹ And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is My body,^(C) which is given for you. Do this in remembrance^(D) of Me.”

²⁰ In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant^(E) established by My blood;^(F) it is shed for you.^[a]

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you:^(A) On the night when He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, ²⁴ gave thanks, broke it, and said,^[a] “This is My body, which is^[b] for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”^(B)

²⁵ In the same way, after supper He also took the cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant^(C) established by My blood.^(D) Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
