The Last Supper

At evening Jesus sits with the twelve and announces that one of them will betray him. The disciples grieve and question themselves, Judas speaks, and Jesus identifies the betrayer while also speaking of the written path ahead. He then gives bread as his body and the cup as his covenant blood poured out for many for forgiveness, speaks of drinking again in the kingdom, and leaves for the Mount of Olives after a hymn.

W²⁰hen evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples. ²¹And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.” ²²They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?” ²³Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me. ²⁴The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.” ²⁵Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” ²⁶While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.” ²⁷Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. ²⁸This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.” ³⁰And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
