11: 24. German scholar Heinrich Meyer observes: “Seeing... that the body of Jesus was still unbroken (still living), and that, as yet, His blood had not been shed, none of the guests [the apostles] can have supposed... that they were in reality eating and drinking the very body and blood of the Lord, [so] Jesus Himself could not have intended His simple words to be understood in a sense which they did not then admit of. ”
Saksa õpetlane Heinrich Meyer märgib: „Nähes, et Jeesuse keha oli veel täiesti terve (ta oli elus) ja tema verd polnud veel valatud, ei saanud keegi külalistest [apostlitest] mõelda..., et nad tegelikult söövad Issanda keha ja joovad tema verd.... Kindlasti ei olnud Jeesuse eesmärgiks, et tema lihtsaid sõnu mõistetaks tähenduses, mida neil tegelikult polnud. ”
