Earlier in the evening:
Jesus: table for 26 please!
Host: but there are only 13 of you.
Jesus: yeah, but we’re all going to sit on the same side of the table.
This you say on one of the few versions that actually DO have people on the other side too 😂
Even the ones that aren’t on the table fit on the front as if they walked there from their place.
Except for Franklin - he’s going to sit on the opposite side.
Jesus: Hey Judas, pick up the bill, will ya? It’s 30 silver.
Judas: But…
Jesus: No excuses! I don’t care what you have to do! Just get the money!
Judas: Why does it feel like it’s the last time we meet?
Jesus: Ha, had the same feeling and didn’t know how to spell it, but you’ve nailed it!
Isn’t it curious that Judas doesn’t have a halo? He hadn’t betrayed Jesus yet here, yet him not having a halo means he’s already not pure, as if his capacity for betrayal was a predestined trait, rather than a choice.
Well, Judas had already made plans to and agreed to betray Jesus (Matthew 26:14-16) before the last supper (Matthew 26:21), so in effect the betrayal had already begun at the time this painting is depicting. At the same time, Jesus spends a lot of words here repeating that the betrayal has been foretold and has to happen (Matthew 26:53-54), to in a sense Judas did have to betray him, as was foretold. Depends on how you think free will and prophesy interacts. (All references from the New International Version of the Bible at biblica.com)
Jesus doesn’t have a halo either
No not necessarily, because it’s all looking in retrospect
Jesus: You mean last sup right?
