Mark 14:24

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:22-25

The Lord's Supper. A good title, as it was an evening meal; and it was appropriated to a new and special purpose by our Lord, in connection with whom its significance is received. He is the Host, while his disciples are the guests. Consider it:— I. IN RELATION TO THE PASSOVER . The general meaning of the Passover was perpetuated in a spiritual sense. There was: 1 . A transfer . Not of the whole Passover, but of a portion. It was during the progress of that meal, "as... read more

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 14:24

And he said unto them, This is the blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.The covenant ... means "the new covenant," that which supplanted the institution of Moses; and concerning which, Hebrews 9 and Hebrews 10 give a full discussion. Christ's is the blood which purifies from sin, which is poured out for many, without which there is no remission of sins. The very fact of Christ's associating these symbols of the Lord's Supper with so sacred a thing as his blood is a testimonial of... read more
