Exegesis
The opening sequence `labon {λαβών | labṓn} ‘having taken’` and `eucharistesas {εὐχαριστήσας | eucharistēsas} ‘having given thanks’` prepares the narrative movement, while the aorist verbs `eklasen {ἔκλασεν | éklasen} ‘he broke’` and `edōken {ἔδωκεν | édōken} ‘he gave’ carry the action forward.
In context — Luke 22:19
And having taken bread and having given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given on your behalf; do this as a memorial of Me.”
