The Lord came to this world in human flesh and received His baptism from the high priest John the Baptist in the Jordan River- Matthew 3:13-17.

The Lord was talking about the baptism He received when He said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” (Matthew 26:26) He was not talking about the blood with this bread. 

After He said, “Take, eat; this is My body,” He took the cup and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:27-28)

Like the sacrificial animal that received the sin through the laying on of the hands and shed blood and died for the sacrifice of atonement in the Old Testament, the Lord came to this world in the flesh, received His baptism in the form of laying on of hands, shed blood on the Cross, and died as the eternal sacrifice of atonement for all of us at once (Leviticus 16:21-34)

As we take the bread and the cup, we remember the love and the salvation of the Lord who sacrificed Himself on our behalf. The Lord received His baptism, shed blood on the Cross and died to blot out our sins and gave us new life in the exact manner God had promised to all humanity in the Old Testament. Hallelujah, praise God.
