gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it. For this is my blood of
the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sin.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the
vine, until that day, when I drink it new with you in my Father's
kingdom. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount
