"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

Mens de nu spiste, tog Jesus et brød, velsignede, brød det og gav sine disciple det og sagde: Tag dette og spis det; dette er mit legeme. Og han tog en kalk og takkede, gav dem den og sagde: Drik alle heraf; thi dette er mit blod, pagtsblodet, som udgydes for mange til syndernes forladelse. Og jeg siger jer: fra nu af skal jeg ikke mere drikke af denne vintræets frugt før den dag, da jeg skal drikke den ny sammen med jer i min Faders rige.
