Matthew 26:17,24,26-29
[17]On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to get the Passover meal ready for you?”
[24]The Son of Man will die as the Scriptures say he will, but how terrible for that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would have been better for that man if he had never been born!”
[26]While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. “Take and eat it,” he said; “this is my body.”
[27]Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and gave it to them. “Drink it, all of you,” he said;
[28]“this is my blood, which seals God’s covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
[29]I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
