ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 11 v22

THOSE WHO HAD NOTHING WERE ASHAMED. AMBROSIASTER: The false apostles had sown divisions among them so that they were possessive of their offerings. Although they were all blessed with one and the same prayer, those who had not offered or who had nothing to offer were covered with shame and did not take part. Furthermore, it all happened so quickly that those who came later found nothing left to eat. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THE INSTITUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION 1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-26

OVERVIEW: The Lord’s Supper is not just a meal but spiritual medicine that purifies recipients who partake of it reverently (AMBROSIASTER). In blessing the bread even before his suffering, Jesus left this last commemoration (AMBROSE, CYRIL OF JERUSALEM, PELAGIUS). Paul delivered to Corinth what he had been taught about the Lord’s Supper (OECUMENIUS). Now instead of the blood of beasts Christ has made a sacrificial offering of his own blood (CHRYSOSTOM, CYRIL OF JERUSALEM). Those who come for this offering must not do anything unworthy of it, and this applies especially to not withholding mercy from the needy neighbor (CHRYSOSTOM).
