Which passage in Matthew describes the institution of the Lord's Supper?

• A. Matthew 22:37-39
• B. Matthew 28:18-20
• C. Matthew 26:26-28
• D. Matthew 5:3-12

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying where Jesus establishes the Lord’s Supper. In that passage, Jesus shares the Last Supper with his disciples and takes bread, giving it to them with the words that it represents his body, then takes the cup and says it represents his blood of the covenant poured out for many. This moment sets up the ritual his followers are to observe in remembrance of him. The other options cover different topics: one records Jesus teaching on the greatest commandment to love God and neighbor; another is the Great Commission to make disciples; and another contains the Beatitudes. So the passage that describes the institution of the Lord’s Supper is the one where bread and wine are presented as symbolic of Jesus’ body and blood, establishing the new covenant.
