Exegesis
The verse consists of a series of actions framed by two aorist participles, labon {λαβὼν | labōn} ‘having taken’ and eucharistesas {εὐχαριστήσας | eucharistḗsas} ‘having given thanks’, which are circumstantial participles preceding the main verb. They describe actions performed by the implied subject, Jesus, that occur prior to and lead into the primary event.
