Luke 22:19–20
At the last supper, Jesus speaks of the cup as the new covenant in his blood
Study it word by word19And 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.
In its context
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.”
…
21But look, the hand of the one who is handing me over is with me on the table.
22For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is handed over!”
