LUKE 22:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:”
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, take this and divide it among you — the cup given first in Luke is the Passover cup. Take this and divide it among you: the sharing of the cup before the words of institution communicate the Passover's communal character.
Church Fathers on Luke 22:17
As soon as the disciples had prepared the Passover, they proceed to eat it; as it is said, And when the hour was come, &c.
By the hour of eating the Passover, He signifies the fourteenth day of the first month, far gone towards evening, the fifteenth moon just appearing on the earth.
But how is our Lord said to sit down, whereas the Jews eat the Passover standing? They say, that when they had eaten the legal Passover, they sat down according to the common custom, to eat their other food.
