Jesus' words at the Lord's Evening Meal apply specifically to his apostles, who were to be part of the new covenant as spirit-anointed ones, in contrast to mankind in general.
To what group do Jesus’ words spoken at the Lord’s Evening Meal apply?During the Lord’s Evening Meal, Jesus offered unleavened bread to his apostles and told them that it represented his body. Then he gave them the wine and said that it stood for the “blood of the covenant.” (Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:24) That is significant. The new covenant is made with “the house of [spiritual] Israel”—who will be “in the Kingdom of God”—not with mankind in general. (Heb. 8:6, 10; 9:15) The apostles did not grasp that at the time, but they would soon be anointed with holy spirit and brought into the new covenant to have a place with Jesus in heaven.—John 14:2, 3.
