After he sat down, he called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” ¹  And after he said this he breathed his last.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, ¹  and I will raise him up at the last day.

The one who eats ¹  my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. ² 

On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, ¹  Jesus stood up and shouted out, ²  “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and

The one who rejects me and does not accept ¹  my words has a judge; ²  the word ³  I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

So they began to leave, ¹  unable to agree among themselves, after Paul made one last statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly to your ancestors ²  through the prophet Isaiah

and I always ask ¹  in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God. ² 

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; ¹  the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
