This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Brake and gave (κατέκλασεν - ἐδίδου)
Note the two tenses, as in Mar 6:41, and see note there.
To set before (παραθεῖναι)
Lit., to set beside, since the table was at the side of the guest. A common word for serving up a meal. Compare Luk 10:8; Act 16:34. From the sense of placing beside, comes that of putting in charge, committing (Luk 12:48; Luk 23:46; 1Ti 1:18). Hence the kindred noun παραθήκη (2Ti 1:12), a deposit: that which f halve committed.
