If transubstantiation is true, then He is violating his own law. Lev 17:10 and other places: 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood."

And eating human flesh and drinking human blood is a thoroughly pagan ritual.

Christ replaced the Old Covenant of the Old Testament and gave us his New Covenant of the New Covenant.

There are many accounts of Jesus confronting the Pharisees and Sadduccees on the matters of cleansing hands, eating, etc. Picking grain on the Sabbath is another one.

He even confronted them when he cured someone on the Sabbath by asking if their ox were stuck in the mud, would not they go out to rescue it on the Sabbath?
