Now it is in the world already. |

| After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.” | Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” |
