26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessing, he broke it and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27And taking a cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, 28for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29But I tell you, I will never drink from now on of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”

14And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15And he said to them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16For I tell you that I will never eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17And having received a cup, and given thanks, he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18for I tell you, I will never drink from now on of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19And taking bread, and giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20And the cup likewise after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
