Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 26:28

"for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins." — Matthew 26:28 (ASV)

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

They had had gross sin brought prominently to their minds; they had had a personal reminder of their own liability to sin; and now they were to have a personal pledge concerning the pardon of sin: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

They had had sin brought to their minds; they had had a personal reminder of their own liability to sin; now they were to have a perpetual pledge of the pardon of sin, in the cup, which was the emblem of Christ's blood, shed for many for the remission of sins.
