Luke 22:14-23

New King James Version

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. ^21 (H)But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. ^22 (I)And truly the Son of Man goes ^(J)as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

^23 (K)Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
