Mark 14:23 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:22-25

The Lord's Supper a celebration of death. It is elsewhere spoken of as a "memorial," i.e. a funeral feast for the Savior. Not merely a vain regret, an indulgence of disconsolate affection, but— I. A CELEBRATION OF DEATH AS COMPLETED SELF - SACRIFICE . 1 . Therefore all that was most precious in the life was secured, in the highest degree and the best way, as a blessing for others . The early disciples were not handling mangled, useless remains, but touching a... read more

Eucharistic service. I. THE SYMBOLIC BREAD AND WINE . Eating and drinking are the most significant physical acts of life. For they are the foundation of life. Hence the act is appropriate as a symbol of the foundation of spiritual life. The appropriation of Christ by the intelligence and will is analogous to the appropriation of food in the process of digestion. II. THE SERVICE IS THE VISIBLE SEAL OF A NEW COVENANT . Which is a tinuation, an enlargement or... read more

Mark 14:17-25. In the evening he cometh with the twelve See notes on Matthew 26:20-29. This is my blood of the new testament Or, covenant; that is, this I appoint to be a perpetual sign and memorial of my blood, as shed for establishing the new covenant, that all who shall believe in me, may receive all its gracious promises.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:22-26

142. The Lord’s Supper instituted (Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-20)By the time of Jesus, the Jewish Passover had developed into a set form with a number of added procedures. Among the additions was a cup of wine, for which the head of the household offered a prayer of thanks (or blessing; cf. 1 Corinthians 10:16). He filled this cup and passed it among the participants, both before and after the eating of unleavened bread. The participants also sang a collection of psalms known... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:23

And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.The gospel records leave no doubt of the perpetual obligation imposed upon his followers by this sublime memorial, composed not of stones, or towers, but of bread and wine, such humble, commonplace articles being transmuted by the Saviour's employment of them into the most sacred symbols of Christianity and the vicarious sufferings of the Son of God. Note that not bread alone, nor the cup alone, but both... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:1-52

A. The Servant’s anticipation of suffering 14:1-52Several themes peak in this section. Here we have the clearest evidence that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of God (cf. Mark 1:1; Mark 8:29). Here, too, Jesus’ conflict with the religious leaders, His foes, came to a head (cf. Mark 3:1; Mark 3:6; Mark 11:18; Mark 12:12). The ignorance and selfishness of Jesus’ disciples, His friends, also peaked (cf. Mark 3:19; Mark 6:1-6; Mark 8:31 to Mark 10:52). Finally, the Servant’s ministry climaxed in... read more
