Last Supper

What evidence is there that Judas did or did not partake in the Last Supper?

Secondly, If he did (or did not) why does it really matter? It doesnt affect the validity of our communion one way or another.

These questions are mostly for RamezM and Biboboy to answer.

Thanks Guys.

Agape,

Have a look at my response here: http://www.coptichymns.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=5097

Why do some of the clergy insist he didnt partake at all? Is this a new innovation?

does no-one write there anymore? there are no new posts.

my priest says that judas did partake of the Holy Communion and he has a masters in theology (equivalent) from cairo.

Your priest is a good and intelligent man.

Those who say that was not possible for Judas to have partaken of communion base their opinion on one point: Satan entered Judas.

My question then: Is everyone communing is worthy of the communion? Is it not possible for unrepentant people to partake of the communion?

Before you answer look up 1 Cor 11:27 - 30.

We have ample patristic evidence that the Church does believe that Judas partook of the Communion let alone we read on Tuesday of the Pascha that Judas did partake of the communion.

The Gospel itself says that Judas partook of the Communion Luke 22:16-21.

Even art portrays Judas present at communion.

Let's not use our rational to rationalize the holy Tradition we received.
