Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

^14 (A)When the hour had come, He sat down, and the ^[a]twelve apostles with Him. ¹⁵ Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; ¹⁶ for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it ^(B)until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; ¹⁸ for ^(C)I say to you, ^[b]I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

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

²⁰ Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ^(G)“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
