1 Corinthians 11:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Do you not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and make those who have nothing feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you.(A)
Tradition of the Institution. 23 [a]For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,(B) that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, 24 and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
