1 Corinthians 11:23 - Exposition

I have received; rather, I received. He thus refers the revelation to some special time, and this seems to point to the conclusion that he is not referring to any account of the institution of the Lord's Supper, which may have been given him by St. Peter or one of the twelve, but to some immediate revelation from Christ. The terms in which he describes the institution of the Eucharist resemble most nearly those of St. Luke, who may very probably have derived his information from St. Paul. This passage should be compared with Matthew 26:26-29 ; Mark 14:22-25 ; Luke 22:19 , Luke 22:20 . Was betrayed; rather, was being betrayed.
