There can be no doubt that the 1972 translation of "pro multis" as "for all" is ''theologically'' correct. It is a part of the consecration that I have especially enjoyed ever since I was ordained on the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, 13 June 1981. The difficulty with the theological substitution is that it takes a step away from the gospel accounts, two of which unquestionably use '''"περι πολλων"''' in Greek, which is literally '''"pro multis"''' in Latin and "for many" in English.

The formula for consecration of the Precious Blood in the Latin rite uses the phrase "qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum." The new translation of the Mass reverts to a literal translation of "pro multis" in place of the theological interpretation used in the current translation:

Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my blood, |
Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, |
Matthew
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you,
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father."
Mark
22 While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body."
23 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.
25 Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
Luke
19 Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me."
20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.
Paul
23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread,
24 and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Tabular view
In setting up this table, I used the consecration narrative from the second Eucharistic Prayer. I haven't yet looked at the variations from one Eucharistic Prayer to another.

Congregatio de Cultu Divino et Disciplina Sacramentorum[5]
Rome, 17 October 2006
Prot. no. 467/05/L
Your Eminence / Your Excellency,
In July 2005 this Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, by agreement with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, wrote to all Presidents of Conferences of Bishops to ask their considered opinion regarding the translation into the various vernaculars of the expression pro multis in the formula for the consecration of the Precious Blood during the celebration of Holy Mass (ref. Prot. n. 467/05/L of 9 July 2005). The replies received from the Bishops’ Conferences were studied by the two Congregations and a report was made to the Holy Father. At his direction, this Congregation now writes to Your Eminence / Your Excellency in the following terms:
- 1. A text corresponding to the words pro multis, handed down by the Church, constitutes the formula that has been in use in the Roman Rite in Latin from the earliest centuries. In the past 30 years or so, some approved vernacular texts have carried the interpretative translation “for all,” “per tutti,” or equivalents.
- 2. There is no doubt whatsoever regarding the validity of Masses celebrated with the use of a duly approved formula containing a formula equivalent to “for all” as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has already declared[6] Indeed, the formula “for all” would undoubtedly correspond to a correct interpretation of the Lord’s intention expressed in the text. It is a dogma of faith that Christ died on the Cross for all men and women (cf. John 11:52; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Titus 2:11; 1 John 2:2).
John 11:51-52 | He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God. |
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 | For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died. He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. |
Titus 2:11 | For the grace of God has appeared, saving all. |
1 John 2:2 | He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world. |
- 3. There are, however, many arguments in favor of a more precise rendering of the traditional formula pro multis:
- a. The Synoptic Gospels (Mt 26:28; Mk 14:24) make specific reference to “many” for whom the Lord is offering the Sacrifice, and this wording has been emphasized by some biblical scholars in connection with the words of the prophet Isaiah (53:11-12).[7] It would have been entirely possible in the Gospel texts to have said “for all” (for example, cf. Luke 12:41); instead, the formula given in the institution narrative is “for many,” and the words have been faithfully translated thus in most modern biblical versions.
- b. The Roman Rite in Latin has always said pro multis and never pro omnibus in the consecration of the chalice.
- c. The anaphoras of the various Oriental Rites, whether in Greek, Syriac, Armenian, the Slavic languages, etc., contain the verbal equivalent of the Latin pro multis in their respective languages.
- d. “For many” is a faithful translation of pro multis, whereas “for all” is rather an explanation of the sort that belongs properly to catechesis.
- e. The expression “for many,” while remaining open to the inclusion of each human person, is reflective also of the fact that this salvation is not brought about in some mechanistic way, without one’s own willing or participation; rather, the believer is invited to accept in faith the gift that is being offered and to receive the supernatural life that is given to those who participate in this mystery, living it out in their lives as well so as to be numbered among the “many” to whom the text refers.
- f. In line with the Instruction Liturgiam authenticam, effort should be made to be more faithful to the Latin texts of the typical editions.
- 4. The Bishops’ Conferences of those countries where the formula “for all” or its equivalent is currently in use are therefore requested to undertake the necessary catechesis of the faithful on this matter in the next one or two years to prepare them for the introduction of a precise vernacular translation of the formula pro multis (e.g., “for many,” “per molti,” etc.) in the next translation of the Roman Missal that the Bishops and the Holy See will approve for use in their country.
With the expression of my high esteem and respect, I remain, Your Eminence /Your Excellency,
- Devotedly Yours in Christ,

The Suffering Servant
- Because of his anguish he shall see the light;
because of his knowledge he shall be content;
My servant, the just one, shall justify the many,
their iniquity he shall bear.
- Because of his anguish he shall see the light;
- Therefore I will give him his portion among the many,
and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty,
Because he surrendered himself to death,
was counted among the transgressors,
Bore the sins of many,
and interceded for the transgressors.
- Therefore I will give him his portion among the many,
"Many" does not exclude "all"
- Max Zerwick, S.J., "Pro Vobis et Pro Multis Effundetur."
However, in different ways, the word multi in our Western languages does not exclude the whole. This is why that word can and in fact does connote the whole, where the context or subject matter suggests it or requires it. It is not easy to offer examples of this phenomenon. Here, however, are a few examples:
- In 3 Ezra 8:3,[8] we read: "Many indeed have been created, but few shall be saved." It is clear that "all" have been created. But here the interest is not in the whole but in the opposite of "few." Hence, "many" is used, when that word really means "all."
- In Qumram text Hodayot IV, 28, 29, both words ("many" and "all") are found in synonymous parallel, two parallel verses in which the same thing is said twice: "You have worked wonders among the many on account of your glory that you might make known to all your great works."
- Moreover, in Qumram "many" (with or without the article) came to be a technical term, almost a name, for the community of all the full-fledged members. So, just in the "rule" of the sect, the word occurs in about thirty instances.
- We come, now to the texts of the New Testament with which we are especially concerned: Romans 5:12, 15. Here, the comparative argumentation from the minor premise to the major is set up, between the universality of Adam’s sin and the universality of the grace of Christ:
- "Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world and through sin, death, and thus death thus came to all in as much as all sinned...(After the insertion of vss. 13 and 14, the comparison continues.) But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that transgression the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person, Jesus Christ, overflow for the many."
- Many are called, but few are chosen (Mt 22:14).
- πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι.
- Some Protestant traditions, notably those inspired by John Calvin's doctrine of predestination, hold that not every human being is invited to repentance, conversation, and salvation. Those traditions would take "many are called" to mean that "not all are called" to be united to God. The Catholic Church repudiates this interpretation in no uncertain terms. The word "many" in this passage must be taken to mean "all," just as in the Eucharistic consecration.
- "A ransom for many" Mk 10:45
- "For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."
- A wild guess
- The authors the Old Testament did not clearly understand that God intended to offer salvation from sin and death to all human beings without any exceptions. The height of Old Testament prophecy may have been "many" instead of "one" or "a few." When Jesus or the evangelists appeal to the language of the Old Testament in order to make sense of His suffering, death, and resurrection, the word "many" comes along with the old prophecies.
Conclusion
There can be no doubt that the 1972 translation of "pro multis" as "for all" is theologically correct. It is a part of the consecration that I have especially enjoyed ever since I was ordained on the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, 13 June 1981. The difficulty with the theological substitution is that it takes a step away from the gospel accounts, two of which unquestionably use "περι πολλων" in Greek, which is literally "pro multis" in Latin and "for many" in English. The difficulty with the literal translation is that it makes it sound as if Jesus did not intend to save the whole world — an absolutely intolerable thought.
There is no third translation that can yield the best of both worlds. If we want to be faithful to the accounts of Matthew and Mark, we must say "for many." If we want to be theologically accurate, we must say "for all." The Church, in her wisdom, has decided to live with the difficulties of adherence to the Scriptural accounts. We must say "for many" but mean "for all."
From this standpoint, I am unhappy with the efforts of the liturgical literalists to impose a meaning of "for many" that does not coincide with "for all." So, for example, the USCCB "Frequently Asked Questions on the Translation of Pro Multis as 'For Many'" contains this question and answer:
- Does this mean that Christ did not die for everyone?
- No. It is a dogmatic teaching of the Church that Christ died on the Cross for all men and women (cf. John 11:52; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Titus 2:11; 1 John 2:2). The expression “for many,” while remaining open to the inclusion of each human person, is reflective also of the fact that this salvation is not brought about in some mechanistic way, without one’s own willing or participation; rather, the believer is invited to accept in faith the gift that is being offered and to receive the supernatural life that is given to those who participate in this mystery, living it out in their lives as well so as to be numbered among the “many” to whom the text refers.
- He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God.
- For the love of Christ impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for all; therefore, all have died. He indeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
- For the grace of God has appeared, saving all.
- He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
- "God wills all to be saved."
I very much dislike narrowing the meaning of "many" to mean "those who accept salvation," as if Jesus only died only for them and not for all. The Catechism does not make this distinction, but treats "for many" as the functional equivalent of "for all" [emphasis added]:
- At the end of the parable of the lost sheep Jesus recalled that God's love excludes no one: "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." He affirms that he came "to give his life as a ransom for many"; this last term is not restrictive, but contrasts the whole of humanity with the unique person of the redeemer who hands himself over to save us. The Church, following the apostles, teaches that Christ died for all of God's children without exception: "There is not, never has been, and never will be a single human being for whom Christ did not suffer."[9]
I simply cannot see that the right way to translate and think of "pro multis" is "I am making a complete offering of Myself to the Father on behalf of those who are willing to repent and be converted, but not for the rest of His sons and daughters."
Parallels
Melchizedech
Multiplication of the loaves
- Commentary on Matthew 14
- 13-21
- Jesus' multiplication of loaves appears in every Gospel. The event anticipates the Eucharist, a point that Matthew reinforces by using the same series of verbs (taking . . . blessed . . . broke . . . gave) here (14:19) and at the Last Supper (26:26; Mk 14:22). The miracle also recalls the similar OT episode in 2 Kings 4:42-44, where the prophet Elisha multiplied 20 barley loaves (Jn 6:9) to feed 100 men, with some left over (CCC 1335).
