It was noted quite early that any remark like that attributed to Jesus at the 'Last Supper' would have been revolting and repellant to Jews. Ergo He never said it or anything like it. Instead it has all the hallmarks of the Romans trying to 'one up' other bloodsoaked mystery religions like Mithraism.

Scholars have known this for centuries, however, Bibles will not be updated. TIA.
