Context of Luke 22:20

18For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19Then he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And in the same way he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. 21“But look, the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table. 22For the Son of Man is to go just as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”
