Matthew 26:26-30

New Century Version

The Lord’s Supper

²⁶ While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and thanked God for it and broke it. Then he gave it to his followers and said, “Take this bread and eat it; this is my body.”

²⁷ Then Jesus took a cup and thanked God for it and gave it to the followers. He said, “Every one of you drink this. ²⁸ This is my blood which is the new^[a] agreement that God makes with his people. This blood is poured out for many to forgive their sins. ²⁹ I tell you this: I will not drink of this fruit of the vine^[b] again until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

³⁰ After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
