26. And while they were eating, Jesus took bread; and when he had given thanks, broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27. And having taken the cup and given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink you all of it. 28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29. And I tell you, I will not henceforth drink 1513 of the fruit of the vine, till that day when I shall drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father. 30.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mountain of Olives.
22. And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, 1514 he broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 23. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24. And he said to them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for you. 25. Verily I tell you, henceforth I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. 26. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mountain of Olives.
17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18. For I tell you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19. And he took bread, and when he had given 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. 20. In like manner also the cup, 1515 after that he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
As Luke mentions that the cup was twice presented by Christ, we must inquire, in the first place, if it be a repetition, (as the Evangelists are wont frequently to say the 1513"Que de ceste heure je ne boiray de ce fruict de vigne;" — "that from this hour I will not drink of the fruit of the vine."
1514"Et apres avoir rendu graces;" — "and after having given thanks." 1515"Semblablement aussi leur bailla la coupe;" — "in like manner also he gave them the cup."
