26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."
26:27 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; 26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 26:29 I tell you, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." 26:30 When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
