Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. These are the words of the Lord Jesus himself, and therefore they come...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,— That is the right kind of teaching which a man first receives from God, and then delivers to the people. Nothing is of authority in the Christian ministry unless we can say of it, “I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,” — 1Co_11:23. That the Lord...

That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. The Lord’s supper is a simple service of remembrance. Nothing is said about an altar, or a priest, or a sacrifice. Our Lord took bread, gave...

And when he had given thanks,.... So Lu 22:19, but Matthew 26:26 and Mr 14:22 say "he blessed"; not the bread, but his Father; for to bless and give thanks is one and the same thing with the Jews; so we often read of their blessing for the fruits of the earth, for wine and bread; concerning which they have these rules (r), "he that blesseth for...

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament — “The New Covenant” —
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
After the same manner also he took the cup,.... That is, off from the table, or out of the hands of the master of the house, and blessed or gave thanks, as he did before when he took the bread; see Matthew 26:27, "when he had supped"; the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, read, "when they had supped"; which give a true sense, though not a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. “Show” or “proclaim.” The latter is the better word: “Ye do proclaim the Lord’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. This exposition consisted of readings from Mat_26:20-30; And 1Co_11:20-26.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. “By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup,.... Not any bread, or any cup: but what is ate and drank in an ordinance way, and according to the institution and appointment of Christ, and with a view to the end proposed by him; and though there is no set fixed time for the administration of this ordinance, yet this phrase seems to suggest...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. He shall be guilty with respect to that body, — not with respect to that bread, against which he cannot sin, — but...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Wherefore,.... Since this is the plain institution of the Lord's supper, the form and manner of administering of it; and since the bread and wine in it are representations of the body and blood of Christ, and the design of the whole is to remember Christ, and show forth his death; it follows, that whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. “Unworthily,” that is, in a thoughtless, careless way; or with a view to worldly gain, as some used to take it in order to obtain office under government; and as some, doubtless, do take it, to obtain the alms of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. You notice that I introduced the word “condemnation” instead of “damnation.” That word...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. If such a man has treated “this bread” and “this cup” with contempt, he has treated “the body and blood of the Lord” with contempt; it shall be so reckoned to him. Many have been trouble by this verse. They...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
But let a man examine himself,.... Whether he has a true sense of sin, sorrow and repentance for it; otherwise he will see no need of a Saviour, nor will he look to Christ for salvation, or be thankful to him for redemption by him; all which are necessary in a due observance of this ordinance; also, whether he is in the faith, whether he is a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Paul does not say, “Let a man examine himself, and then not eat or drink at the communion.” The examination should lead him to repentance, and to faith, and should then bring him to the table of fellowship in the right state of mind and heart. The examination...
