Footnote 3 – The Eucharist—Exploring Its Origins
In this article, I cite Jesus’ sayings according to my reconstruction of the Aramaic behind the Gospels. In each case, I provide reference to the passages on which my reconstruction is based. This saying is from the source scholars call “Q” ( Stephen J. Patterson, “Q—The Lost Gospel,” BR 09:05), which is an early collection of Jesus’ sayings that were incorporated into the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, often in nearly identical language. But the variations between Matthew and Luke show that Q was not a fixed written source.
