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. ”
Pakar Alkitab dari Jerman yang bernama Heinrich Meyer mengatakan bahwa para rasul tidak mungkin berpikir kalau mereka akan benar - benar makan tubuh Yesus dan minum darahnya karena ” tubuh Yesus masih utuh (masih hidup) ”. Pakar itu juga mengatakan bahwa Yesus menggunakan ” kata - kata yang sederhana ” untuk menjelaskan apa arti roti dan anggur supaya rasul - rasulnya tidak salah paham.
