Last Supper account in Paul matches the Synoptic order — too many coincidences to be unrelated

Skeptics Wrongly Claim Apostle Paul Didn’t Know Jesus 00:18:28 – 00:19:30

Mike compares Paul's sequence in 1 Corinthians 11 with the Synoptic Gospels to argue they are describing the same event.

The sequence in Paul: betrayal night → takes bread → gives thanks → breaks it → 'This is my body' → takes cup after supper → 'New Covenant in my blood.' This matches Mark 14:22, Matthew 26:26, and Luke 22:19-20 in details and order. Mike argues that the amount of shared detail makes it implausible that Paul and the Gospels are describing different events or different Jesuses. Those who want to drive a wedge between Paul and the Gospels must resort to ad hoc explanations.
