After Luke 22:12-23
It is here, the final
Passover meal he
knows they will
share together. His
words confuse; he
speaks of imminent
suffering. He takes
a cup, calling
the wine his blood,
telling them to divide
it among themselves
and drink it. He takes
the unleavened bread,
breaking it, and calls
it his body. And they
are to drink the wine
and eat the bread
in remembrance. And
there’s more: He tells
them that the one who
betrays him sits
at the table, one
who has eaten
the bread and
drunk the cup.
