The Gospel According to Mark
Chapter
14:22-26
23 Also he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of that new Testament which is shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day, that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 And when they had sung a Psalm, they went out to the mount of Olives.

Verse 26
- This word “broken” noteth out unto us Christ his manner of
death, for although his legs were not broken, as the thieves legs
were, yet was his body very sore tormented, and torn, and bruised.
Christ
minding forthwith to fulfill the promises of the old covenant,
instituteth a new covenant with new figures. Mark saith, Had given
thanks: and therefore blessing is not a consecrating, with a
conjuring kind of murmuring and force of words: and yet the bread and
the wine are changed, not in nature, but in quality, for they become
undoubted tokens of the body and blood of Christ, not of their own
nature or force of words, but by Christ his institution, which must
be recited and laid forth, that faith may find what to lay hold on,
both in the word and in the elements. This is a figurative speech,
which is called Metonymy (a): that is to say, the putting of one name
for another—so calling the bread his body, which is the sign and
sacrament of his body: and yet notwithstanding, it is so a figurative
and changed kind of speech, that the faithful do receive Christ
indeed with all his gifts (though by a spiritual means) and become
one with him. - Commentary GNV Translation
(a) - A
trope in which one word is put for another that suggests it; as we
say a man keeps a good instead of good provisions; We read Virgil,
that is [in] his poems; a man has a warm heart, that is warm
affections. - Webster's Dictionary Ed. 1917
