New Testament

Matthew 26:26-31 New International Version (NIV)

26. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27. Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

28. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

29. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

30. When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

31. Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
