But he did not correct these protesters. Twelve times he said he was the bread that came down from heaven; four times he said they would have "to eat my flesh and drink my blood." John 6 was an extended promise of what would be instituted at the Last Supper—and it was a promise that could not be more explicit. Or so it would seem to a Catholic/Orthodox

Yet, why then did John leave out that entire ceremony from his gospel? There is no mention at all of him breaking the bread and giving the cup of wine at their Last Supper together as was told in the other three gospels. DO you have some idea why it was omitted?

I don't, but Mark gave us a good description in his earlier post #1728

Consider this: if the Gospel writers were all perfect in their writings, there would only be one Gospel; or else there would be four clones (or 60 or 80 clones) identically written.

Let me put it this way: God is the Ultimate. We are a miniscule portion of His Creation. Can a bacterium understand Einstein? Can we understand God? Yet God put frail and fallible men in charge of His infallible Church. I cannot explain it. Peter fell short time after time, yet he was still the leader of the Apostles and the one that led the Church after Pentecost under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Still his interpretation.
