Contextual Overview
12 It was now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb was sacrificed. Jesus' followers said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?" 13 Jesus sent two of his followers and said to them, "Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 When he goes into a house, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says: "Where is my guest room in which I can eat the Passover meal with my followers?"' 15 The owner will show you a large room upstairs that is furnished and ready. Prepare the food for us there." 16 So the followers left and went into the city. Everything happened as Jesus had said, so they prepared the Passover meal. 17 In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. 18 While they were all eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will turn against me—one of you eating with me now." 19 The followers were very sad to hear this. Each one began to say to Jesus, "I am not the one, am I?" 20 Jesus answered, "It is one of the twelve—the one who dips his bread into the bowl with me. 21 The Son of Man will die, just as the Scriptures say. But how terrible it will be for the person who hands the Son of Man over to be killed. It would be better for him if he had never been born."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as they did eat,.... The paschal lamb, and the unleavened bread, just at the conclusion of that feast:
Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; beginning and instituting a new feast, to be kept in aftertimes, in commemoration of his sufferings and death, now near at hand;
and gave to them, the disciples,
and said, take, eat: the word eat is not in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and is wanting in some copies:
this is body; a figure and representation of it;
:-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:20-35.
Mark 14:31
More vehemently - More earnestly, more confidently.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 22. Eat — This is omitted by many MSS. and versions, but I think without reason. It is found in the parallel places, Matthew 26:26; 1 Corinthians 11:24. See the subject of the Lord's Supper largely explained on Matthew 26:26, &c.
