1 Corinthians 11:23
For I have received from the Lord that which I also delivered unto
you. While at Corinth he had told the church the solemn history of the
institution of the supper, an account that he had received directly by
inspiration from the Lord. Such a sacred event was utterly inconsistent
with strife, revelry or disorder. The history is repeated to show this.
That the Lord Jesus . . . took bread. The account given here
(1 Corinthians 11:23-25) of the institution of the Lord's supper is one in
the four New Testament. That of Matthew (Matthew 26:26-30) is of an eye
witness; those of Mark (Mark 14:22-25) and Luke (Luke 22:14-20)
were received by them from witnesses who were present; that of Paul was
"received from the Lord". Many regard it as the oldest written account
of the event.
