Benedixit prius, quia naturam quam assumpsit cum Patre et Spiritu sancto, gratia divinæ virtutis implevit. Ideo post cœnam corpus suum dedit, quia necesse erat pascha typicum prius consummari, et sic veteri paschæ sacramenta post substitui.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “After that,” or “Later on,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐλογήσας

/having/_blessed

Here Matthew could be implying that Jesus blessed: (1) God for providing the food. Alternate translation: “having blessed God” or “having praised God” (2) the food. Alternate translation: “having blessed it” or “having asked God to make it holy”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔκλασεν

˱he˲_broke_‹it›

Here Matthew means that Jesus broke the bread in pieces so that it could be served to the disciples. This was a normal practice in his culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “divided the bread into servings” or “broke the bread into smaller pieces”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

λάβετε, φάγετε

take eat

Here Jesus implies that he wants the disciples to Take and eat the pieces of bread that he gave to them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Take these pieces of bread and eat them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου

this is the body ˱of˲_me

Here Jesus identifies the bread as his body. This figure of speech has been interpreted in a number of ways. The bread could somehow become Jesus’ body, or Jesus’ body could be present in some way when people eat the bread, or the bread could represent or memorialize Jesus’ body. Because of the variety of interpretations and the significance of this metaphor, you should preserve the metaphor if there is any way to do so. If you must express the metaphor in a different way, use a form that could fit with as many of the listed interpretations as possible. Alternate translation: “This functions as my body”
