Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:26

‘And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and he gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” ’ Before launching into what lies behind this symbolic gesture we should perhaps just pause for a moment in awe at these words. For centuries the Jews had broken the bread at Passover looking back to the unleavened bread eaten on the day of deliverance from the angel of death. It had occurred unchanged for year after year, and century after century. And... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:26-30

Jesus Institutes The Lord’s Supper and Establishes The New Covenant in His Blood (26:26-30). We are so used to the Lord’s Supper that this moment can almost pass us by unmoved. It was, however, as sensational as anything within the career of Jesus. He had made many remarkable claims, as we have seen, but none more remarkable than this. For Jesus was here taking over the most precious ceremony known to the Jews, a ceremony instituted by God, centred on God and pointing to God’s great... read more

Matthew 26:26-Joel : . The Bread and the Wine ( Mark 14:22-Lamentations : *: Luke 22:17-Proverbs : has a different arrangement).— Mt. is practically identical with Mk., but adds ( Matthew 26:28) that the “ blood of the covenant which is shed for many” is “ unto remission of sins” ( cf. Mark 10:45, Hebrews 9:22), and that when Jesus drinks the new wine in His Father’ s Kingdom (Mt. “ kingdom of heaven,” Lk. “ kingdom of God” ) it will be with the disciples. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:26-30

Mark relates this with no considerable difference, Mark 14:22-26; only he saith, they all drank of it, and, shed for many for the remission of sins. Luke saith, our Saviour upon his giving the bread, said, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:24-30 gives us some further discourses of our Saviour with Peter, and to his disciples; but no other... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 26:26-30

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:28. New.—Omitted in R.V., on the authority of the best MSS. Testament.—Covenant (R.V.). The term διαθήκη is here of peculiar importance. It does not mean either a covenant in the sense of contract or agreement, or a testament in the sense of a will, but it has a meaning which combines ideas distinctive of both. In διαθήκη there are the conditional elements necessary to a covenant, and the absolute elements necessary to a testament: the first, so far as it denotes... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:26-28

Matthew 26:26-28 Notice: I. When the Lord's Supper was first kept, and who kept it. As He was eating, Jesus took bread. He was eating unleavened bread and drinking wine at the Feast of the Passover in the city of Jerusalem. The Last Supper was first eaten at the Passover Supper of the Jews. It was first eaten by Jesus and His Twelve Apostles the night He was betrayed. II. What did these words mean to those who first heard them? The Apostles did not know what they meant. Jesus was with them at... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings ( Matthew 26:1 ),This is the end of now the Olivet discourse.He now said to his disciples, Now you know that in two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified ( Matthew 26:1-2 ).Now this is interesting, because this apparently was on Monday, that Jesus gave the Olivet discourse. He had made His triumphant entry on Sunday, which is known as Palm Sunday, and then the next day He came back into... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 26:1-75

Matthew 26:2 . After two day is the passover. This is the literal import of the Greek word πασχα pascha, and the Hebrew word פסח pesach, because the Israelites, after eating the paschal lamb, passed over the Red sea. The jews had a tradition, probably from the prophets, that they should be delivered at the passover, which tradition is still in the Cabalists. And it is very remarkable, that Christ should redeem the world at the very festival when he redeemed the Hebrews from Egypt. He is... read more

Matthew 26:26-29And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it.Relation of the Holy Communion to ChristThe bread and cup are His body and blood, because they are causes instrumental, upon the receipt whereof the participation of His body and blood ensueth. Every cause is in the effect which groweth from it. Our souls and bodies quickened to eternal life are effects, the cause whereof is the person of Christ; His body and blood are the true well-spring out of which this life floweth... read more

Jesus took bread ] From bread and wine used by the Jews at the eating of the paschal lamb, without all command of Moses, but resting upon the common reason given by the Creator, Christ authorizeth a seal of his very flesh and blood.
