‏ Luke 22:19-20

Summary for Luke 22:19-20: 22:19-20  a Using the bread and cup as symbols of his body and blood, Jesus instituted the communion service that the disciples were to practice in remembrance of his death.

• This is my body, which is given for you: The unleavened bread of the Passover symbolized Jesus’ death as the Passover lamb. His death would pay for the sins of the world (cp. 1 Cor 11:24-25  b).
22:20  c God’s covenants in the Old Testament were confirmed with the blood of a sacrifice (Gen 15:9-10  d; Exod 24:8  e). Jesus’ death established the new covenant that God had promised his people (Jer 31:31-34  f).
