Institution of the Lord’s Supper

²³For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; ²⁴and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ^[^a^]“Take, eat; this is My body which is ^[^b^]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁵In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

“1 Samuel 16:4-13

New King James Version

⁴So Samuel did what the Lord said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”

⁵And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify^[^a^] yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

⁶So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”

⁷But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have ^[^b^]refused him. For^[^c^] the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

⁸So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” ⁹Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” ¹⁰Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” ¹¹And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.”

And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not ^[^d^]sit down till he comes here.” ¹²So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with ^[^e^]bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” ¹³Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
