Mark 14:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:22

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; (See Gill on Matthew 26:26).

21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."
23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
24 And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
