For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 10:17 Go To 1 Corinthians 10
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The body of Christ is not many bodies but one body. For just as the bread, which consists of many grains, is made one to the point that the separate grains are no longer visible, even though they are still there, so we are joined to each other and to Christ. But if we are all nourished by the same source and become one with him, why do we not also show forth the same love and become one in this respect too? This was what it was like in ancient times, as we see in Acts [:]: “For the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul.”
