‏ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

For I received of the Lord ( εγο γαρ παρελαβον απο του Κυριου ). Direct claim to revelation from the Lord Jesus on the origin of the Lord's Supper. Luke's account (Lu 22:17-20) is almost identical with this one. He could easily have read I Corinthians before he wrote his Gospel. See 15:3 for use of both παρελαβον and παρεδωκα. Note παρα in both verbs. Paul received the account from ( παρα--απο ) the Lord and passed it on from himself to them, a true παραδοσις (tradition) as in 11:2.

He was betrayed ( παρεδιδετο ). Imperfect passive indicative (irregular form for παρεδιδοτο, Robertson, Grammar, p. 340). Same verb as παρεδωκα (first aorist active indicative just used for "I delivered").

When he had given thanks ( ευχαριστησας ). First aorist active participle of ευχαριστεω from which word our word Eucharist comes, common late verb (see on 1:14).

Which is for you ( το υπερ υμων ). Κλωμενον (broken) of the Textus Receptus (King James Version) is clearly not genuine. Luke (Lu 22:19) has διδομενον (given) which is the real idea here. As a matter of fact the body of Jesus was not broken (Joh 19:36). The bread was broken, but not the body of Jesus.

In remembrance of me ( εις την εμην αναμνησιν ). The objective use of the possessive pronoun εμην. Not my remembrance of you, but your remembrance of me. Αναμνησις, from αναμιμνησκω, to remind or to recall, is an old word, but only here in N.T. save Lu 22:19 which see.

After supper ( μετα το δειπνησα ). Μετα and the articular aorist active infinitive, "after the dining" (or the supping) as in Lu 22:20.

The new covenant ( η καινη διαθηκη ). For διαθηκη see on Mt 26:28. For καινος see on Lu 5:38; 22:20. The position of εστιν before εν τω αιματ (in my blood) makes it a secondary or additional predicate and not to be taken just with διαθηκη (covenant or will).

As oft as ye drink it ( οσακις αν πινητε ). Usual construction for general temporal clause of repetition ( αν and the present subjunctive with οσακις ). So in verse 26.

Till he come ( αχρ ου ελθη ). Common idiom (with or without αν ) with the aorist subjunctive for future time (Robertson, Grammar, p. 975). In Lu 22:18 we have εως ου ελθη. The Lord's Supper is the great preacher ( καταγγελλετε ) of the death of Christ till his second coming (Mt 26:29).
