Exegesis
Inside the saying, `touto estin to soma mou {Τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου | Toûto estin to sôma mou} ‘this is My body’` places the demonstrative first, creating emphatic identification between the bread and the speaker’s body.
The articular participial phrase `to hyper hymōn didomenon {τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν διδόμενον | tò hypèr hymôn didómenon} ‘the one being given on your behalf’` modifies `soma` and presents the body as being given in a continuing, sacrificial sense.
