Matthew
12:4
In order to forestall at the very outset, the unworthy notion, that in
the Eucharist we receive merely the Body and merely the Blood of Christ but not
Christ in His entirety, the Council of Trent defined
the Real Presence to be such as to include with Christ's Body and His Soul and Divinity
as well. A strictly logical conclusion from the words of promise: "he that
eateth me the same also shall live by me", this
Totality of Presence was also the constant property of tradition, which characterized the
partaking of separated parts of the Savior as a sarcophagy (flesh-eating)
altogether derogatory to God.

1376 The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring:
"Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was
offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the
Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the
consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole
substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of
the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the
holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation."
1377 The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the
consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist.
Christ
is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of
their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide
Christ.
1378 Worship of the Eucharist. In the liturgy of the Mass we express our
faith in the real
presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine by, among
other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration of the Lord.
"The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the
Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it,
reserving the consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the
solemn veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession."
Matthews 12:4 is not the only verse in the ESV
which has replaced Shewbread with the Roman Catholic Bread of the Presence.
There are ten more verses which have been mutilated in this fashion.
I have posted them below to show you how evil the ESV is by replacing
English words that have no source in the Hebrew or Greek text.
Still think the ESV is good?
