16 We ask God to bless the cup at the Lords supper. When we drink from this cup it means that the blood of Christ is for us all. We break the bread. When we eat this bread, it means that the body of Christ is for us all.
17 The bread is all one loaf. In the same way, we are many people but we are one body. We all eat from the same loaf.
18 While they were sitting at the table eating, Jesus said, I tell you the truth. One of you who is eating with me will give me over to people who hate me.
19 They were sad and troubled. One after the other began to say to him, Lord, is it I?
20 Jesus answered them, It is one of you twelve. It is the one who puts his hand in the same dish with me.
21 The Son of Man will go just as the holy writings tell about him. But the man who gives him over will have trouble. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born!
2 He and his disciples were eating together. The devil had already put it into Judas heart to give Jesus over to people who hated him. (Judas was the son of Simon Iscariot.)
3 Jesus knew that his Father had put everything into his hands. He knew he had come from God. He knew he was going back to God.
4 Jesus stood up where he had been eating. He took off his outer clothing. And he took a towel and tied it around him.
5 Then he poured water into a pan and began to wash the disciples feet. He wiped their feet with the towel he had tied around him.
21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in his heart. He said, I tell you the truth. One of you will give me over to people who hate me.
22 The disciples looked at one another. They did not know which one of them Jesus was talking about.
23 The disciple Jesus loved was at his right side.
24 Simon Peter nodded to that disciple. He said, Tell us who he is talking about.
25 He who was at Jesus right side said to Jesus, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, I will put a piece of bread in the dish. Then I will give it to that one. He put in the bread, then he took it and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27 Right after Jesus had given the bread, Satan came into Judas. Then Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do right away.
28 No one at the table knew why Jesus said, Do it right away.
29 Judas had the money bag. Some thought that Jesus was telling him, Buy what we need for the feast, or that he wanted Judas to give something to the poor people.
30 Judas went out right after he had taken the bread. It was night.
20 I died when Christ died on a cross. I do not live now, but Christ lives in me. Now while I still live in my body, I live by believing in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.
53 Jesus said, I tell you the truth. If you do not eat the Son of Man and do not drink his blood, you will not have life.
54 Anyone who eats me and drinks my blood will live for ever. I will raise him up at the last day.
55 I am real food, and my blood is real drink.
56 Anyone who eats me and drinks my blood is in me and I in him.
57 My Father is living. He sent me. I have my life from him. In the same way, the person who eats of me will live because of me.
22 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.
23 He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to them. They all drank some of it.
24 Then he said to them, This is my blood. It is given for many people. It makes the agreement strong.
25 I tell you the truth. I will not drink any of the fruit of the vine again until I drink some of it new in the kingdom of God.
14 When it was time to eat, he sat down at the table and the apostles sat down with him.
15 He said to them, I have wanted very much to eat this Passover Feast with you before my troubles come.
16 I tell you this. I will not eat it again until the great feast in the kingdom of God.
7 On the first day of the week the disciples met together to break bread. Paul was ready to leave the next day. He talked a long time to the people at the meeting until long into the night. They were gathered in an upstairs room with many lights.
26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.
27 He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, All of you drink from this.
28 This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.
29 I tell you this. I will not drink any of the juice of the fruit of the vine again, until I drink some of it new with you in my Fathers kingdom.
30 They sang a song and then went out to the hill called the Mount of Olives.
4 In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
5 One time we lived in the way our bodies wanted to live. The law made us think about doing wrong things. And we did things that made us die.
6 But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
51 I am the bread that gives life. I came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live for ever. I will give bread so that the world may live. I am that bread.
27 So then, when anyone eats the bread and drinks from the cup in a way that is not right, he has done wrong to the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Each one must look into his own heart carefully. When he has done that, he may eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 The person who eats and drinks in a wrong way will be punished. He does not take it as the Lords body.
30 That is why many of you are weak and sick. Many have died.
26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.
27 He also took a cup. He thanked God for it. Then he gave it to the disciples and said, All of you drink from this.
28 This is my blood. My blood is the blood of the new agreement. It is given so that many people will be forgiven for the wrong things they did.
29 I tell you this. I will not drink any of the juice of the fruit of the vine again, until I drink some of it new with you in my Fathers kingdom.
33 So, my Christian brothers, when you come together to eat the Lords supper, wait on your turn.
34 If a man is hungry, he should eat at home. Then when you meet, you will not be found in the wrong. There are other matters. I will talk about them when I come to see you.
5 Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.
6 We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
7 Anyone who has died no longer does wrong things.
8 If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.
10 He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.
23 The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.
24 He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.
25 In the same way, after they had eaten, he took the cup. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. Every time you drink from this cup, do it to remember me.
26 Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.
17 He took the cup and thanked God. He said, Take this. All of you drink from this.
18 I tell you this. I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God comes.
19 He took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, This is my body, which is given for you. When you do this, then remember me.
20 In the same way he took the cup after they had eaten. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. It is given for you.
15 That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.
16 A person can say who will get his things when he dies. He writes this agreement down. Before anyone can have them, it must be proved that the person has died.
17 The agreement has no power until the one who made it has died. It has no power as long as the one who made it is living.
21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of bad spirits. You cannot eat food at the table of the Lord and at the table of bad spirits.
19 He took some bread. He thanked God for it and broke it. He gave it to the disciples and said, This is my body, which is given for you. When you do this, then remember me.
20 In the same way he took the cup after they had eaten. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. It is given for you.
7 It was the day of the feast with bread that has no yeast in it. The sheep had to be killed for the Passover Feast,
8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying to them, Go and get the Passover Feast ready for us to eat.
9 They asked, Where do you want us to get it ready?
10 He said, When you go into the city, a man carrying a pot of water will meet you. Follow him into the house where he goes.
11 Tell the master of the house, "The Teacher says, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover Feast with my disciples?"
12 He will show you a large room upstairs. It will be all fixed up. Make it ready there.
13 So they went and found everything just the way Jesus had said. Then they made the Passover food ready.
14 When it was time to eat, he sat down at the table and the apostles sat down with him.
26 Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.
23 The Lord gave me what I taught you. This is what it was. On the night when the Lord Jesus was sold to his enemies, he took bread.
24 He thanked God for it. Then he broke it and said, Take this bread and eat it. This is my body which is broken for you. Do this so that you will remember me.
25 In the same way, after they had eaten, he took the cup. He said, This cup is the new agreement made by my blood. Every time you drink from this cup, do it to remember me.
26 Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you tell about the Lords death, until he comes again.
27 So then, when anyone eats the bread and drinks from the cup in a way that is not right, he has done wrong to the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Each one must look into his own heart carefully. When he has done that, he may eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 The person who eats and drinks in a wrong way will be punished. He does not take it as the Lords body.
30 That is why many of you are weak and sick. Many have died.
20 When you meet together, it is not the Lords supper that you eat.
21 People take their own food and eat it without waiting. One gets nothing to eat. Another person drinks too much.
22 Do you not have your own homes where you can eat and drink? Do you have no respect for the church of God? Do you want to make poor people ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I say you are doing well? No, you are not doing well in this matter!
