Interestingly, on the night when Jesus instituted the Memorial of his death, he gave a cup of wine to the 11 faithful apostles and stated: “This means my ‘ blood of the covenant, ’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins. ” ​ — Matt.
هَتَفَ يُوحَنَّا ٱلْمَعْمَدَانُ حِينَ رَأَى يَسُوعَ آتِيًا نَحْوَهُ :‏ « هُوَذَا حَمَلُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ خَطِيَّةَ ٱلْعَالَمِ !‏ » .‏
