Chapter 29: Of the Lord’s Supper

Private masses, or receiving this sacrament by a priest, or any other, alone;¹ as likewise, the denial of the cup to the people,² worshiping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about, for adoration, and the reserving them for any pretended religious use; are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and to the institution of Christ.³

1 Corinthians 10:6

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. (ESV)

Mark 14:23

And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

1 Corinthians 11:25-29

In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. (ESV)

Matthew 15:9

in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” (ESV)
