For what did he wish to be understood when he said to the sons of Zebedee, \"Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?\" … and \"Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?\" A stone's throw from his disciples he is torn away to die for the sins of humanity. This is his cup of suffering. He shows his feelings of human weakness, saying … \"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me.\".<br/><i>— LETTER 14, TO FERRANDUS 41</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: \"In like manner also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My Blood: this do, as oft as ye drink of it, in remembrance of Me.\"</p><p>What sayest thou? Art thou making a remembrance of Christ, and despisest thou the poor and tremblest not? Why, if a son or brother had died and thou wert making a remembrance of him, thou wouldst have been smitten by thy conscience, hadst thou not fulfilled the custom and invited the poor: and when thou art making remembrance of thy Master, dost thou not so much as simply give a portion of the Table?</p><p>But what is it which He saith, \"This cup is the New Covenant?\" Because there was also a cup of the Old Covenant; the libations and the blood of the brute creatures. For after sacrificing, they used to receive the blood in a chalice and bowl and so pour it out. Since then instead of the blood of beasts He brought in His own Blood; lest any should be troubled on hearing this, He reminds them of that ancient sacrifice.<br/><i>— Homily on 1 Corinthians 27</i></p><p><b>Tertullian</b>: We may not, I say, we may not call into question the truth of the (poor vilified) senses, lest we should even in Christ Himself, bring doubt upon the truth of their sensation; lest perchance it should be said that He did not really \"behold Satan as lightning fall from heaven; \" that He did not really hear the Father's voice testifying of Himself; or that He was deceived in touching Peter's wife's mother; or that the fragrance of the ointment which He afterwards smelled was different from that which He accepted for His burial; and that the taste of the wine was different from that which He consecrated in memory of His blood. On this false principle it was that Marcion actually chose to believe that He was a phantom, denying to Him the reality of a perfect body.<br/><i>— A Treatise on the Soul</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"9a44e64d7ade9aaf80b7f0b6b05a0321653f22fc97516badf42a250283aa5504","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":115,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"5ec61e8dde43a87fa4d828b2ca66bc1dec9dbba9d8a1ffacfed3bf2c136c0866","translator":null,"work":null}
