The Last Supper
Luke 22:14-23 · Berean Standard Bible
On the night before His death, Jesus shares the Passover meal with His disciples, breaking bread as His body and pouring the cup as the new covenant in His blood, given for them. He institutes what Christians remember as communion, then reveals that one at the table will betray Him. The Last Supper is the origin of the Lord's Supper and Jesus' own explanation of the sacrifice He was about to make.

14When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
15And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
16For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
19And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.
21Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
22Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”
23Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.
