Contextual Overview

⁷ The Day of Unleavened Bread came. This was the day when the Jews always killed the lambs for the Passover. ⁸ Jesus said to Peter and John, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat." ⁹ They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare the meal?" He said to them, ¹⁰ "When you go into the city, you will see a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him. He will go into a house. ¹¹ Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks that you please show us the room where he and his followers can eat the Passover meal.' ¹² Then the owner will show you a large room upstairs that is ready for us. Prepare the meal there." ¹³ So Peter and John left. Everything happened the way Jesus said. So they prepared the Passover meal. ¹⁴ The time came for them to eat the Passover meal. Jesus and the apostles were together at the table. ¹⁵ Jesus said to them, "I wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you before I die. ¹⁶ I will never eat another Passover meal until it is given its full meaning in God's kingdom."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he took bread and gave thanks,.... Or blessed it, as in Matthew 26:26. Here begins the account of the Lord's supper after the passover was eaten;

and brake it, and gave unto them; the disciples, as is expressed in

Matthew 26:26

saying, this is my body;

Matthew 26:26- :

which is given for you; or will be given for you, as an offering for sin in your room and stead; and accordingly it was given into the hands of men, and of justice, and unto death. The phrase denotes the substitution and sacrifice of Christ in the room of his people, and the voluntariness of it; and is only mentioned by Luke in this account: the Apostle Paul writes, which is broken for you, 1 Corinthians 11:24 alluding to the breaking of the bread in the ordinance, and as expressing the bruises, wounds, sufferings, and death of Christ: the Ethiopic version here adds, "for the redemption of many".

This do in remembrance of me; that is, eat this bread in remembrance of my love to you, and in commemoration of my body being offered up for you. Observe this ordinance in the manner I now institute it, in time to come, in memory of what I am about to do for you; for this direction does not only regard the present time and action, but is intended as a rule to be observed by the churches of Christ in all ages, to his second coming: and it is to be observed, that the Lord's supper is not a reiteration, but a commemoration of the sacrifice of Christ. This phrase is only mentioned by Luke here, and by the Apostle Paul, who adds it also at the drinking of the cup,

1 Corinthians 11:24. The Persic version here reads, "do this perpetually in remembrance of me".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 26:26-28.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 22:19. Took bread — See the nature and design of the Lord's Supper explained in Clarke's notes on Matthew 26:26-29.

This do in remembrance of me. — That the Jews, in eating the passover, did it to represent the sufferings of the Messiah, as evident from the tract Pesachim, fol. 119, quoted by Schoettgen. Why do we call this the great hallel? (i.e. the hymn composed of several psalms, which they sung after the paschal supper.) Ans. Because in it these five things are contained:

1. The exodus from Egypt.

2. The dividing of the Red Sea.

3. The promulgation of the law.

4. The resurrection of the dead. And,

5. The sufferings of the Messiah.

The first is referred to, Psalms 114:1, When Israel went out of Egypt, c. The second in Psalms 114:3, The sea saw it and fled. The third in Psalms 114:4, The mountains skipped like rams, &c. The fourth in Psalms 116:9, I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. The fifth in Psalms 115:1, Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory for thy mercy and thy truth's sake. Matthew 26:30.
