Matthew 26:26-29 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

The Bread and the Wine (Mark 14:22-25 *: Luke 22:17-20 has a different arrangement). Mt. is practically identical with Mk., but adds (Matthew 26:28) that the blood of the covenant which is shed for many is unto remission of sins (cf. Mark 10:45; Hebrews 9:22), and that when Jesus drinks the new wine in His Father's Kingdom (Mt. kingdom of heaven, Lk. kingdom of God) it will be with the disciples.

Matthew 26:26-29

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 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.
