With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
All Commentaries on Luke 22:15 Go To Luke 22
Basil the Great
AD 379
We should eat the body and drink the blood of the Lord as a commemoration of the Lord’s obedience unto death. They who live might then no longer live for themselves but to him who died for them and rose again.
