Dear Danny,

HH: The most relevant passages are Luke 22:20; Mark 14:24; and 
Matthew 26:28. An easy one to check is Matthew 26:28:

Matt. 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for 
many for the forgiveness of sins.

Here the participle "poured out" is EKXUVVOMENON and is neuter, 
singular, nominative. It modifies the noun "blood," or hAIMA, which 
is also neuter, singular, nominative. The word covenant (DIAQHKHS) is 
feminine, singular, genitive.

A. T. Robertson says about the participle:

"A prophetic present passive participle. The act is symbolized by the 
ordinance."

				Yours,
