τὸ σῶμά μου, my body, broken like the bread, implying blood-shedding, though that is passed over in silence if the reading of [185] be accepted. Note that in Acts 2:46 the communion of the faithful is called breaking bread. τὸ ὑ. ὑ. διδόμενον : what follows from these words to the end of Luke 22:20 resembles closely St. Paul's account in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25. This resemblance is one of the arguments of W. and H [186] against the genuineness of the passage. On the whole subject consult J. Weiss (Meyer, eighth edition) and Wendt, L. J., i., 173, both of whom adopt the reading of [187].
