Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Luke 22:20

This cup is the new testament (RV 'covenant') in my blood] The meaning, according to 1 Corinthians 10:16, seems to be: 'This cup conveys to those who with true and lively faith partake of it, the benefits of the new covenant, which the shedding of my blood procures for mankind' (i.e. remission of sins, eternal life, spiritual sustenance, etc.). Mt and Mk have, 'This is my blood of the new covenant.' There is no reason why our Lord should not have used both expressions in explaining to Bus disciples the spiritual effect of the rite.
