1 Corinthians 1123-26

• 23For I received from the Lord what I also passed
  on to you The Lord Jesus, on the night he was
  betrayed, took bread, 24and when he had given
  thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body,
  which is for you do this in remembrance of me.
  25In the same way, after supper he took the cup,
  saying, This cup is the new covenant in my
  blood do this, whenever you drink it, in
  remembrance of me. 26For whenever you eat this
  bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords
  death until he comes.
