₂₃For I received from the Lord the teaching that I passed on to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took a piece of bread, ₂₄gave thanks to God, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me.” ₂₅In the same way, after the supper he took the cup and said, “This cup is God's new covenant, sealed with my blood. Whenever you drink it, do so in memory of me.”

₂₆This means that every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
