Luke 22:15-25

¹⁵He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover meal with you before I suffer and die.

¹⁶I want you to know that I will not eat the Passover meal again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize what it represents.”

¹⁷Then he took a cup of wine and thanked God for it. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.

¹⁸I want you to know that from now on I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”

¹⁹Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it into pieces and gave it to them to eat. He said, “This bread represents my body, which I am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on eating bread this way regularly to remember what I have done for you.”

²⁰Similarly, after they had eaten the meal, he took another cup of wine. He said, “ The wine in MTY this cup represents my blood, which will soon flow from my body when I die. With this blood I will sign the new agreement that God is making with you.

²¹But note that the one SYN who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!

²²It is certain that I, the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what God has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will ◄betray me/enable my enemies to seize me►!”

²³Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”

²⁴The apostles began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us will be the greatest when Jesus becomes king?”

²⁵So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews enjoy showing that they are powerful. Yet they give themselves the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
