 When evening had come, he sat down with the twelve. Verse 26 now. As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat, this is my body. Then he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you, for this is the blood of my new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
