Context of Luke 22:20

18For I say unto you, that I will not drink at all of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God come. 19And having taken a loaf, when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21Moreover, behold, the hand of him that delivers me up [is] with me on the table; 22and the Son of man indeed goes as it is determined, but woe unto that man by whom he is delivered up.
