In the night that he was betrayed.] This circumstance is specified by the Apostle, to give us to understand, that Christ would at the last Supper of the Passover institute this his Supper, to show, 1. That now an end was made of all the old sacrifices, and he did substitute a new Sacrament which should succeed, and should from henceforth be observed (that Paschal Sacrament being finally abolished) and which should signify the same thing, difference only of time excepted. For the Paschal lamb signified Christ which should come, and should be sacrificed: The Supper, Christ already sacrificed. Object. But when the Supper was instituted, Christ was yet to be sacrificed. Answ. But then was at hand the offering up and sacrificing of Christ: For, a few hours after he was sacrificed, and the Supper was from that time forward to signify Christ sacrificed. 2. That he might stir up in his disciples and in us greater attention and marking of the cause for which he did institute it, and that we might understand how earnestly Christ would have this Supper to be commended unto us: seeing he did nothing before his death, but that which was of most weight and moment. Therefore did he in the very point or instant before his death institute it, to be as it were the testament and last will of our Testator. Briefly, this clause Paul addeth, that we may know, that Christ instituted this Supper for a memorial of himself now ready to die.
