Institution of the Lord's Supper

Luke 22

14 i When the hour had come, He sat down, and the 1 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 j 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 k I say to you, 2 I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." 19 l And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My m body which is given for you; n do this in remembrance of Me." 20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, o "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 21 p "But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 q "And truly the Son of Man goes r as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" 23 s Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
