From the Gospel of St Matthew

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.”

Mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew

Huma u jieklu, Ġesù ħa l-ħobż f'idejh, qal il-barka, qasmu, newwlu lid-dixxipli u qal: "Ħudu, kulu, dan hu ġismi." Mbagħad ħa l-kalċi f'idejh, radd il-ħajr, newwlilhom il-kalċi u qal: "Ixorbu lkoll minnu, għax dan huwa demmi, id-demm tal-Patt, li jixxerred għall-kotra għall-maħfra tad-dnubiet. Ngħidilkom, li ma nerġax nixrob iżjed minn dan il-frott tad-dielja sa dakinhar li nixrob inbid ġdid magħkom fis-Saltna ta' Missieri." (Mt 26, 26-29)
