While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it,
and gave it to his disciples saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them saying,
"Drink from it all of you. This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
Matthew 26:26-28
