Leviticus 24:5-9 & Luke 22:14-23 (New Living Translation)

LEVITICUS 24:5-9
The Bread Offered To God
5  “You must bake twelve loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.
6  Place the bread before the Lord on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row.
7  Put some pure frankincense near each row to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the Lord.
8  Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the Lord. The bread is to be received from the people of Israel as a requirement of the eternal covenant.
9  The loaves of bread will belong to Aaron and his descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they are most holy. It is the permanent right of the priests to claim this portion of the special gifts presented to the Lord.”

LUKE 22:14-23
The Lord's Supper
14  When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.
15  Jesus said, “I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. 
16  For I tell you now that I won’t eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”
17  Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. 
18  For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
19  He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
20  After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
21  “But here at this table, sitting among us as a friend, is the man who will betray me. 
22  For it has been determined that the Son of Man must die. But what sorrow awaits the one who betrays him.” 
23  The disciples began to ask each other which of them would ever do such a thing.
