I tell you I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Truly I say to you, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. Some interesting facts emerge from a quick glance and comparison of the above. Matthew's account traces substantially that of Mark's and thus is justifiable to think of a literary dependence. Luke's account appears to depend partly on Mark and in part from a parallel tradition transmitted by Paul.
Scholars further isolate some other elements of literary tradition.
Mark's narrative depends on an earlier account of the Jesus' passion which was closely linked to the announcement of the betrayal. The eucharistic narratives have a liturgical character and recalls the eucharistic practice of the first communities. Thus one can say that the eucharistic texts presents a precise event in the life of Jesus and with the meaning Jesus himself conferred to this event. Another element of the earliest tradition of the Lord's Supper is its character as a Passover meal. The absence of the mention of the bitter herbs and the lamb clearly points to the texts as we have them today as being of a liturgical nature.
