Tony, thanks for the Web site address giving information on the cups at
Passover.
However, I did not see any comments concerning the Greek text
> 24 KAI EUCARISTHSAS EKLASE KAI EIPE LABETE FAGETE TOUTO MOU ESTI
> TO SWMA TO
> hUPER hUMWN KLWMENON TOUTO POIEITE EIS THN EMHN ANAMNHSIN 25
> hWSAUTWS KAI TO

> DIAQHKH ESTIN EN
> TW EMWi hAIMATI TOUTO POIEITE hOSAKIS AN PINHTE EIS THN EMHN ANAMNHSIN
Perhaps my previous post was unclear. The question is this: Is there any
grammatical support for the idea that the bread was broken after supper?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
