13. So Peter and John left. Everything happened the way Jesus said. So they prepared the Passover meal.
14. The time came for them to eat the Passover meal. Jesus and the apostles were together at the table.
15. Jesus said to them, “I wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you before I die.
16. I will never eat another Passover meal until it is given its full meaning in God’s kingdom.”
17. Then Jesus took a cup of wine. He gave thanks to God for it and said, “Take this cup and give it to everyone here.
18. I will never drink wine again until God’s kingdom comes.”
19. Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to the apostles and said, “This bread is my body that I am giving for you. Eat this to remember me.”
20. In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup of wine and said, “This wine represents the new agreement from God to his people. It will begin when my blood is poured out for you.”
21. Jesus said, “But here on this table is the hand of the one who will hand me over to my enemies.
