AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 22:17 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; [Matt 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; 1 Cor 11:23-25] |
Bible Question: I was brought up church of christ, and using only one cup. But i have just now been studying about cups and i found this and i don't understand why only Luke talks about dividing the wine, and Matt and Mark make it sound like there was only one cup used? Can anyone help me? |
Bible Answer: The Church of Christ wanted to immitate the passages of everyone sharing the same cup, and therefore partaking in a worthy, biblical manner. Also, the cup in Luke 22:17 is not the same cup that we celebrate in the Lord's supper. The one that we celebrate is the next one, in 22:20, which mentions nothing about dividing it. Obviously, this is a very legalistic approach to the scriptures, although there is nothing wrong with using one cup. If you study the Jewish Passover you will find that each person typically has their own cup. Since Jesus requested that the room be prepared for them to celebrate this feast, it is most likely that each had his own cup (as seen in Lk.22:17) ischus |
