Context of 1 Corinthians 11:25

23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 27Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

• 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
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2525. when he had supped--Greek, "after the eating of supper," namely, the Passover supper which preceded the Lord's Supper, as the love-feast did subsequently. Therefore, you Corinthians ought to separate common meals from the Lord's Supper [Bengel]. the new testament--or "covenant."
