New Testament Matthew 26:28
"For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

Shared words: for the remission of

Both verses are the Lord's first-person speech about the cup. Divergences reported, not graded: the revelation's verb is past ('was shed') where the Gospel's is present ('is shed'); the Gospel's 'for many' has no counterpart in the revelation and the revelation's 'your sins' none in the Gospel; the Gospel attaches the new-testament clause, which the revelation does not carry. Matthew 26:28 is paired rather than any other institution account because it is the uniquely nearest verse: across the whole frozen corpus only four verses carry both 'shed' and 'remission' - these two, Hebrews 9:22, and Moroni 10:33 - and of those four only these two speak the words over the emblems. The corpus's other institution accounts drop the remission clause entirely: Mark 14:24 reads 'which is shed for many', Luke 22:20 'which is shed for you', and 3 Nephi 18:11 'in remembrance of my blood, which I have shed for you'. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
