“I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing...As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. John 15:1–5, 9 NKJV

Jesus took bread, blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples...Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them...
Matthew 26:26–27, NKJV
