The Last Supper
Now the first day of the feast
of unleavened bread
the disciples came to Jesus,
saying unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare
for thee to eat the passover?
And he said, Go into the city to such a man,
and say unto him,
The Master saith, My time is at hand;
I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them;
and they made ready the passover.
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,
and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,
Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you
in my father's kingdom.
Matthew 26:17-20; 26-29
