The bread rite described in the Last Supper narratives in the gospels
and 1 Corinthians have nothing between the verbs of taking and praying,
but the synoptics gospels' accounts of the feeding of the thousands
have an intervening reference to looking up. In the liturgical anaphoras
other intervening elements appear in the same place, including the
perplexing ἀναδείξας [he lifted/showed] element in the Anaphoras of
Basil and James, with parallels in Syriac and Armenian texts. This paper
offers a new explanation for these, showing their ancient origins in
cross-lingual borrowing.
