21aThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper
22aAnd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take,1eat; this is My bbody.”
23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the1new covenant, which is shed for many.
25Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26aAnd when they had sung1 a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial
27aThen Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble1because of Me this night, for it is written: b‘I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.’
A cup (pothrion). Probably the ordinary wine of the country mixed with two-thirds water, though the word for wine (oinov) is not used here in the Gospels, but "the fruit of the vine" (ek tou genhmatov thv ampelou). See Matthew 26:26-29 for discussion of important details. Mark and Matthew give substantially the same account of the institution of the Supper by Jesus, while Luke 22:17-20 agrees closely with I Corinthians 11:23-26 where Paul claims to have obtained his account by direct revelation from the Lord Jesus.
