Context of 1 Corinthians 11:25

23After all, I passed on to you what I had received from the Lord. On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread 24and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup is the new promise made with my blood. Every time you drink from it, do it to remember me.” 26Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you tell about the Lord’s death until he comes. 27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks from the Lord’s cup in an improper way will be held responsible for the Lord’s body and blood.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25After the same manner - In like manner; likewise. With the same circumstances, and ceremonies, and designs. The purpose was the same. When he had supped - That is, all this occurred after the observance of the usual paschal supper. It could not, therefore, be a part of it, nor could it have been designed to be a festival or feast merely. The apostle introduces this evidently in order to show them that it could not be, as they seemed to have supposed, an…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-34Verses 23-34 The apostle describes the sacred ordinance, of which he had the knowledge by revelation from Christ. As to the visible signs, these are the bread and wine. What is eaten is called bread, though at the same time it is said to be the body of the Lord, plainly showing that the apostle did not mean that the bread was changed into flesh. St. Matthew tells us, our Lord bid them all drink of the cup, ch. Mt 26:27, as if he would, by this expression…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 25After supper may suggest that the main meal separated the breaking of the bread from the drinking of the cup (see Luke 22:20). The new covenant is God's promise to forgive sins because of Jesus' sacrificial death (compare Jeremiah 31:31–34; 32:40; Luke 22:20; Hebrews 7:22; 8:8–10; 9:15; 10:12–18; 12:24; 13:20). The blood of a sacrifice confirmed an agreement or covenant (see Exodus 24:8; Zechariah 9:11; Hebrews 9:12; 13:20; compare Romans 3:25; 5:9).Read the comment
