d. Amplified Bible: Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance.

1). This word is only used 4 times in the NT three of them are about communion and the other about remembering their own sin under the OT when offering sacrifices. Now, when taking communion we are to remember Jesus, what he did for us baring our sin and sickness in his body, celebrating all that He accomplished for us in His death and resurrection. In doing this we can by faith appropriate healing and wholeness for us.

a). 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

b). Isaiah 53:4, 5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
