The establishment of this rite loomed large for me because it was the one and only time that the Gospels record Jesus using the word “covenant.� And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.� (Mark 14:23�24)
That's pretty staggering to think about...

Saint Luke makes the connection between Jesus and Moses in a subtle but significant way as he describes Jesus� transfiguration. This passage marks, in fact, the only appearance of the Greek word exodos (Exodus) in the Gospels. Luke tells us that Jesus “appeared in glory� with Moses and Elijah “and spoke of his exodus, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem� (Luke 9:31). The word exodos is variously translated into English as “departure� and “decease�; but the original Greek word is unusual, and the evangelist surely intended it to evoke the great event of Israelite history.
