Best Answer

The Gospel according to Saint Mathew contains the story of the last supper where the first mention of the 'cup' that is to become the holy grail is mentioned.

The grail was not originally associated with the cup used at the last supper. It is first mention is in Perceval le Gallois, by Chrétien de Troyes (between 1181 1191). In this story it is a plate. Only later is it interwoven with the Arthurian legends to become the cup of Christ.
