Finally, Jesus does not merely speak of bread and wine as symbols of his body and blood. Rather, he has all of the Twelve (including Judas!) actually partake of the food and drink—they all participate in the bread-as-body and blood-as-wine. It is, as it were, a final attempt to bring all of them with him through execution to resurrection, through death to new life. It is, once again, about participation in Christ and not substitution by Christ.
