== Origins of the Mass in Scripture ==

*[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/1?14 John 1:14]

 “And the Word became flesh”

*from [[Rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done|Genesis 2:2-3]]:
<blockquote>On the seventh day God completed the work he had been doing; he rested on the seventh day from all the work he had undertaken. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work he had done in creation.</blockquote>

===The Assembled People of God===

* [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/18?20 Matthew 18:20], Jesus teaches:
<blockquote>"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.”</blockquote>
*[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/26?26 Matthew 26:26-28]:
<blockquote>While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

“Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.”</blockquote>
*[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/mark/14?22 Mark 14:22-26]:
<blockquote>While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” 

Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 

He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. 

Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 

Then, after singing a hymn,* they went out to the Mount of Olives.</blockquote>
*[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/24?30 Luke 24:30-31]
<blockquote>And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
