I Corinthians 11:17-3423. For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which 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 He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
