The Lord's Supper

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

¹⁷ Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

²⁴ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

²⁵ In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

²⁷ Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸ Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

¹⁹ And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

²⁰ In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

²⁶ While 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.”

²⁷ Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

²⁸ This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

²⁹ I 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.”

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.”

⁵² At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?”

⁵³ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.

⁵⁴ Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁵⁵ For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

⁵⁶ Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.

So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

²² While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

²³ Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

²⁴ He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

²⁵ Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

²⁰ Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

²¹ For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.

⁴⁶ With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,

⁴⁷ praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

¹⁵ And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

¹⁶ For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

¹⁸ Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —

¹⁹ and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
