@ailius1520 Jesus wanted the bread and wine ceremony to be done in 'remembrance' of him, just as the Passover, which it replaced, was done in remembrance of the Hebrew slaves' escape from Egypt. Passover ritual food is not literally believed to be what it signifies; neither is the communal meal he instituted. However, when he said people must drink his blood and eat his flesh, and that he is the "Bread of Life" some of his disciples at the time thought he was being cannibalistic, just as some of the Romans thought the Christians were in later years, and left him because of it. They took him literally like some Christians do today. Jesus did not explain the metaphor about his coming crucifixion, nor did he try to stop them leaving. Following Jesus was always a choice, an offer he made to them and to us. (Matt. 22.14) Some of the remaining disciples were upset at seeing people leave and he said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?” it is clear his torture and death and the miracles which would follow were known to him and very much on his mind. ✝️
