In the same way, after supper he took the cup and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me' — the cup is explicitly identified as the new covenant (kainē diathēkē) in his blood, evoking Jeremiah's prophecy and establishing the Supper as the sacramental seal of the new covenant; the repeated 'do this in remembrance' emphasizes the ongoing nature of the practice.
