SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #485

And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me." In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: "This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you." (Luke 22:19-20)

TYPES WHICH FIND THEIR FULFILLMENT IN THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS:
1. The sacrifice of Melchisedech;
2. The unbloody sacrifices of the Old Law, especially the meat-offerings.
