17 - And when it was evening, he went in with the twelve. 18 And as they were at table, eating, Jesus said, “One of you is going to betray me. One who eats with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say one after another, “Is it I?” 20 So he said, “It’s one of you twelve, the one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

     21 For the Son of Man goes as it’s written of him, but woe to the one who betrays him. {Sympathy for Judas.} It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” {Prophesying how Judas’ life will end.}

     22 Then he took up a loaf of bread, said a blessing, then broke it and passed it out to them, saying “Take and eat. This is my body.”

     23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he passed it to them, and they all drank. 24 And he said, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many” [polýs - many, high in number, multitudinous, plenteous, much, great in amount (extent), frequently used in contexts that highlight the vastness of God's kingdom, the multitude of believers, or the extensive reach of Jesus]. 25 “Truly, I tell you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” [Matthew’s recollection, 26:29 - “I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” Mt.25:1-13, 1Cor.15:23; Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:13,14(15)16]
