Christ Jayzus stands up at the Last Supper and he says to his disciples, before the cock crows, he says, one of you will betray me, he says, and one of you will disown me completely, he says, and one of you will sell me down the river for a piece of gold, he says, and he gives them a commandment, I am commanding you right now, he says, I am telling you to love one another, to love one another like I have loved you, which is like brothers, he says, and to look after one another when I’m gone, because you know I won’t be around forever, I’m telling you right now, I’m not long for this world, boys, he says, and then he picks up a piece of bread and he breaks it in two and he says to them, see this bread, he says, this bread is my body, this bread is my broken body after it has been crucified, he says, crucified alongside common thieves, he says, alongside the lowest of the low, he says, and he eats it, he takes a big bite out this bread, and he pours himself a glass of wine, and he drinks it down, and he says to them, this is my blood, he says, this wine is my blood forever, he says, and he says to them, see every time you eat that bread, he says, you will be partaking of my body, you’ll remember me when you break that bread, he says, and see every time you drink that wine, he says, that’s my blood you’ll be drinking, he says, and I promise you, he says, I promise you that whatever one of you believes in me will be granted eternal life, which is entrance into heaven when you die, where we’ll be united with my da, who is God, the Father of us all, sitting there, with me on his right-hand side, and where you will be forgiven for all of the sins you have committed against me. And Peter gets up, and he says to him, sure, Jayzus, you’re a terrible man when you’ve got a drink in you.
