Streszczenie:
The author explains the words of the consecration formula that are said today over the chalice of wine, and reveals their true meaning and significance. In order to achieve this, he offers the reader an insight into a variety of texts from the Old Testament. These include: the Sinai Covenant, the blood and shedding of blood when offering sacrifice, the announcement of the New Covenant (Jr 31) and the character and mission of the Servant of the Lord (Is 53-54). The texts themselves and their impact make it possible for the reader to fully and correctly understand the words said by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper.
