And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said,
Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:24 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul reminds us that the Master gave up everything, including himself, for us, whereas we are reluctant even to share a little food with our fellow believers. But if you come for a sacrifice of thanksgiving, do not do anything unworthy of that sacrifice. Do not dishonor your brothers or neglect them in their hunger, do not get drunk, and do not insult the church. When you come, give thanks for what you have enjoyed, and do not cut yourselves off from your neighbors.
