http://www.totustuus.com/ThisIsMyBody.pdf Read the whole thing--here is just a little bit:
Matthew (Mt 26:26), Mark (14:22) and Luke (22:19) use exactly the same Greek words
for “This is my body”.
Touto estin to soma mou
This is the body of me
neuter neuter
When the text is examined in relationship to Greek grammar employed in the passage,
the meaning becomes very clear. Touto (this) is a neuter demonstrative adjective. It
can’t modify or refer to bread, which is a masculine noun. Instead, it clearly refers to
soma (body), which is a nominative neuter noun. Therefore the only possible translation
in English is: “This [substance in my hands] is my body.”
