The proposition that the Last Supper/Eucharist story in 1 Corinthians was written after and therefore likely based on gMark's version is an interesting one.hakeem wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 4:18 pm
1 Cor. 11.23-25For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Luke 22:-19-2019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. . 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Mark 14.22-25While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” . Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
It is easily seen that the passage in 1 Corinthians 11.23-25 matches gLuke 22.19-20.
In fact, the Last Supper story in 1 Cor. is evidence that the author of the Epistle wrote after gMark's version.
The Jesus in gMark does not tell his disciples to carry out any ritual in his remembrance or tell about a new covenant.
gLuke and 1 Cor. are later embellishments of the Last Supper fable.

As relayed in my previous post, Thomas Nelligan notes that "Luke may provide more striking parallels". He did not explore 'the possibility of Lukan dependence on 1 Corinthians' but noted "the closer similarities certainly fit in with how Luke his sources .." He did specify Mark as such a source "which in many places is unchanged."
But there could well be various as yet unexplored directions for the narratives and thus various dependencies of the texts.
- (eg. Luke may have used gMark and 1 Corinthians, regardless of which initially used which)
