Endnote 31 – What Really Happened at Gethsemane?

For example, John’s version of the Last Supper (John 13:1–20) does not contain the institution of the Eucharist (Mark 14:22–25 = Matthew 26:26–29 = Luke 22:15–20), but in the discourse on the bread of life (John 6:26–59), which takes place much earlier in the ministry of Jesus, John evokes the Eucharist by the words “the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh…[U]nless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life” (John 6:51–54).
