The New Covenant in Blood
Commentators explain that with the cup, Jesus establishes the 'New Covenant' prophesied in the Old Testament (Jeremiah 31). This covenant is sealed not by animal sacrifice, but by His own blood. Scholars note that blood was the traditional way to ratify a solemn, unbreakable agreement, and Jesus' blood, 'poured out for you,' guarantees forgiveness and a new relationship with God.
