He takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to them, symbolizing His body that will be broken for the forgiveness of sins. This act foreshadows the sacrifice He will make on the cross. The sharing of the cup also represents His blood shed for the establishment of a new covenant between God and humanity, emphasizing the importance of communion in remembering Christ's sacrifice and the redemption it brings.
