A Ceia do Senhor
16 The cup of blessing, which we bless, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
17 Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
18 And while they were at table Jesus said, »I solemnly tell you that one of you will betray me–one who is eating with me.«
19 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, »Not I, is it?«
20 »It is one of the Twelve,« He replied; »he who is dipping his fingers in the dish with me.
21 For the Son of Man is going His way as it is written about Him; but alas for the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It had been a happy thing for that man, had he never been born.«
2 While supper was proceeding, the Devil having by this time suggested to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, the thought of betraying Him, Jesus,
3 although He knew that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was now going to God,
4 rose from the table, threw off His upper garments, and took a towel and tied it round Him.
5 Then He poured water into a basin, and proceeded to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel which He had put round Him.
21 After speaking thus Jesus was troubled in spirit and said with deep earnestness, »In most solemn truth I tell you that one of you will betray me.«
22 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.
23 There was at table one of His disciples –the one Jesus loved– reclining with his head on Jesus's bosom.
24 Making a sign therefore to him, Simon Peter said, »Tell us to whom he is referring.«
25 So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, »Master, who is it?«
26 »It is the one,« answered Jesus, »for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it.« Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.
27 Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. »Lose no time about it,« said Jesus to him.
28 But why He said this no one else at the table understood.
29 Some, however, supposed that because Judas had the money-box Jesus meant, »Buy what we require for the Festival,« or that he should give something to the poor.
30 So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.
53 »In most solemn truth I tell you,« said Jesus, »that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has the Life of the Ages, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I remain in union with him.
57 As the ever-living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also he who eats me will live because of me.
22 Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, »Take this, it is my body.«
23 Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.
24 »This is my blood,« He said, »which is to be poured out on behalf of many–the blood which makes the Covenant sure.
25 I solemnly tell you that never again will I taste the produce of the vine till I shall drink the new wine in the Kingdom of God.«
14 When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
15 He said to them, »Earnestly have I longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;
16 for I tell you that I certainly shall not eat one again till its full meaning has been brought out in the Kingdom of God.«
7 On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.
26 During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, »Take this and eat it: it is my body.«
27 And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, »Drink from it, all of you;
28 for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins–the blood which ratifies the Covenant.
29 I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.«
30 So they sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.
4 So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.
5 For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions – made sinful by the Law– were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.
6 But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.
26 For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death–until He returns.
51 I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world.«
17 Then, having received the cup and given thanks, He said, »Take this and share it among yourselves;
18 for I tell you that from this time I will never drink the produce of the vine till the Kingdom of God has come.«
19 Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, »This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me.«
20 He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. »This cup,« He said, »is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.
33 Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
34 If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.
15 And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.
16 For where there is a legal will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence–the death of him who made it.
17 And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives.
27 Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 For any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.
30 That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.
23 For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,
24 and after giving thanks He broke it and said, »This is my body which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me.«
25 In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. »This cup,« He said, »is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me.«
26 For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death–until He returns.
27 Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.

19 Then, taking a Passover biscuit, He gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, »This is my body which is being given on your behalf: this do in remembrance of me.«
20 He gave them the cup in like manner, when the meal was over. »This cup,« He said, »is the new Covenant ratified by my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf.

29 I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom.«
7 When the day of the Unleavened Bread came –the day for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed–
8 Jesus sent Peter and John with instructions. »Go,« He said, »and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.«
9 »Where shall we prepare it?« they asked.
10 »You will no sooner have entered the city,« He replied, »than you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him into the house to which he goes,
11 and say to the master of the house, »The Rabbi asks you, Where is the room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'
12 »And he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. There make your preparations.«
13 So they went and found all as He had told them; and they got the Passover ready.
14 When the time was come, and He had taken His place at table, and the Apostles with Him,
21 You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
20 When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
21 for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.
22 Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise you.
5 For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
6 This we know–that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
8 But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;
9 because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
