Chapter 29: Of the Lord’s Supper
1. Our Lord Jesus, in the night in which He was betrayed, instituted the sacrament of His body and blood, called the Lord’s Supper. It is to be observed in His Church to the end of the world:
- For the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of Himself in His death
- For true believers, for:
- The sealing all of the benefits of His death to them
- Their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him
- Their further engagement in and to all duties that they owe to Him
- A bond and pledge of their communion with Him and with each other, as members of His mystical[1] body [the Church].
1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 10:16–17, 21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 12:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. In this sacrament, Christ is not offered up to His Father, nor is any real sacrifice made at all for remission of the sins of the living or dead.a Rather, [with respect to sacrifices,] the Lord’s Supper is only a commemoration of that single offering up of Himself, by Himself, upon the cross, once for all, and also a spiritual oblation[2] of all possible praise to God for the same.b Therefore, the Popish sacrifice of the mass (as they call it) is most abominably insulting to Christ’s one only sacrifice, the sole propitiation[3] for all the sins of His elect.c
aHebrews 9:22, 25–26, 28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; b1 Corinthians
11:24–26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 26:26–27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cHebrews
7:23–24, 27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 10:11–12, 14, 18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. The Lord Jesus, in this ordinance, has appointed His ministers to:
· Declare His word of institution to the people
· Pray, and bless the elements of bread and wine, and thus set them apart from a common to a holy use
· Take and break the bread, to take the cup, and
o To give both to the communicants
o Communicate[4] themselvesa
o Give to none who are not the present in the congregationb

Corinthians 11:23–27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ;[5] bActs
20:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 11:20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. The following are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and to the institution of Christ:
- Private masses, or the receiving of this sacrament by a priest[6] or any other alone [by himself]a
- The denial of the cup to the peopleb
- Worshiping the elements
- Lifting the elements up for adoration
- Carrying them about for adoration
- The reserving of the elements for any pretended religious use [after the administration of the Lord’s Supper is finished].c
a1 Corinthians 10:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bMark 14:23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 11:25–29 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cMatthew 15:9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. When duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, the outward elements in this sacrament are related in such a manner to Him crucified that truly, yet sacramentally[7] only, they are sometimes called by the names of the things they represent, to wit, the body and blood of Christ.a However, in substance and nature they still remain truly and only bread and wine, as they were before.b
aMatthew 26:26–28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; b1 Corinthians
11:26–28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 26:29 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. The doctrine commonly called transubstantiation, which teaches a change of the substance of bread and wine into the substance of Christ’s body and blood by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not only to Scripture, but even to common sense and reason. It overthrows the nature of the sacrament, and has been, and is, the cause of many superstitions—indeed, of gross idolatries.
Acts 3:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
1 Corinthians 11:24–26 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 24:6, 39 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
7. Also,[8] worthy receivers outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this sacramenta receive and feed upon Christ crucified and all the benefits of His death:
- Inwardly by faith
- Really, and indeed
- Spiritually
- Not carnally and corporally.
The body and blood of Christ are not corporally or carnally, in, with, or under the bread and wine.[9] However, in the ordinance, the body and blood are really, but spiritually, just as present to the faith of believers as the elements are to their outward senses.b
a1 Corinthians 11:28 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; b1 Corinthians
10:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
8. Although ignorant and wicked men receive the outward elements in this sacrament, they do not receive the thing signified by the elements. Rather, by their unworthy coming to the Lord’s Supper, they are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, to their own damnation. Therefore, because they are unfit to enjoy communion with Him, all ignorant and ungodly persons are unworthy of the Lord’s table and cannot, without great sin against Christ while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteriesa or be admitted to them.b

16The cup of blessing that we bless, is it
not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not
a participation in the body of Christ? 17Because there is one bread, we who are
many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and
the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of
demons.

21 Not you are able to drink the
cup of the Lord and a cup of demons; not you are able to partake of the
table of the Lord and a table of demons.
1 Corinthians 10:16–17, 21 (NASB95) Back
16Is not the cup of blessing which we bless
a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in
the body of Christ? 17Since there is one bread, we who are many are one
body; for we all partake of the one bread.
21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and
the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of
demons.

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it
a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing

17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who
are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and
the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the
table of demons.

Ch. 29:2
Hebrews 9:22, 25–26, 28 (ESV) Back
22Indeed, under the law almost everything is
purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
of sins.
25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as
the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26for
then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world.
But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away
sin by the sacrifice of himself.
28so Christ, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to
save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:22, 25-26, 28 (KJ3) Back
22 And almost all things are
purified by blood according to the Law; and apart from shedding of blood not any
remission occurs.
25 not that He should often offer
Himself, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies,
according to a year with blood of others;
26 since it was necessary for Him
to suffer often from the foundation of the world. But now once, at the
completion of the ages, He has been revealed for putting away of sin through
the sacrifice of Himself.
28 so Christ having been once
offered “to bear the sins of many,” Christ shall appear a second time
without sin to the ones eagerly awaiting Him unto salvation.
Hebrews 9:22, 25–26, 28 (NASB95) Back
22And according to the Law, one may almost
say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is
no forgiveness.
25nor was it that He would offer Himself
often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is
not his own. 26Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often
since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages
He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
28so Christ also, having been offered once
to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without
reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 9:22, 25-26, 28 (WEB) Back
22 According to the law, nearly everything is
cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
25 nor yet that he should offer himself often,
as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his
own,
26 or else he must have suffered often since
the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been
revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
28 so Christ also, having been offered once to
bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are
eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

24and when he had given thanks, he broke it,

23The former priests were many in number,

holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.

to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the
people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 7:23-24, 27 (KJ3) Back
23 And, indeed, the many are become
priests, because of being prevented to continue by death;

unto the age, has a non-transmissable priesthood.
27 who has no need, as do the high
priests, to offer sacrifices according to a day, firstly for His own sins, then
for the ones of the people, for this He did once for all, having offered
up Himself.
Hebrews 7:23–24, 27 (NASB95) Back
23The former priests, on the one hand,
existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, 24but
Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood
permanently.
27who does not need daily, like those high
priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins
of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
Hebrews 7:23-24, 27 (WEB) Back
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests,

24 But he, because he lives forever, has his
priesthood unchangeable.

to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of
the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 10:11–12, 14, 18 (ESV) Back
11And every priest stands daily at his
service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins. 12But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he
sat down at the right hand of God,
14For by a single offering he has perfected
for all time those who are being sanctified.
18Where there is forgiveness of these, there
is no longer any offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:11-12, 14, 18 (KJ3) Back
11 And indeed every priest stands
according to a day ministering, and often offering the same sacrifices, which
can never take away sins.
12 But He, offering but one
sacrifice for sins, to the carrying through of all “sat down at the right
hand” of God,
14 For by one offering He has
perfected the carrying through of the ones being sanctified.
18 But where remission of these is,
there is no longer offering concerning sins.
Hebrews 10:11–12, 14, 18 (NASB95) Back
11Every priest stands daily ministering and
offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; 12but He,
having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand
of God,
14For by one offering He has perfected for
all time those who are sanctified.
18Now where there is forgiveness of these
things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:11-12, 14, 18 (WEB) Back
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day
