Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Cor 11:23

“For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.”

“Why does he mention the mysteries and that supper? Very fittingly, in order to convince that your Master deemed all worthy of one and the same table, yet you reject and despise one of your own kind. How does he say that he received from the Lord, when he was not at that time with the Lord, but was a persecutor? So that you may know that even now at the mystical table it is the Lord Himself who imparts the mysteries, just as He did then.”
