I am aware of the "miracles" that Jesus performed in his short life, i.e. walking on water, turning water into wine, giving sight to a blind man, etc. but my fundy Xtian friend says that at the Last Supper, Jesus was bending everyone's spoons using his mind, and that it made John the Baptist angry, as his spoon broke completely apart! Is there any mention of this in the Bible or elsewhere? I think my friend is getting mixed up, but I'm not sure. Please verify.

LOL! Either you or your friend is joking, right?

Jesus U.G. Christ.

I sure don't rememeber that part (or even John the Baptist being one of the disciples purportedly present at the Last Supper).

I don't really know whether this should go to BC&A, Misc Religious Discussions, or Humor. I'll leave it here for now, and see if it'll die a natural death......

Well, I know I'd be pretty PO'd if my spoon broke, but, uh, wasn't John the Baptist's head on a plate (literally) before the Last Brunch, er... Supper?

And I seem to recall that the Guest Check from the Last Supper, er... Brunch was discovered in the Late 70's or Early 80's, by one Fr. Guido Sarducci?

"On The Last Supper: It was actually a brunch. The check (discovered by Sarducci himself!) reveals that one guy only had a soft-boiled egg and tea, while everyone else stuffed themselves. But when the bill was paid, it was divided equally. The moral: 'In groups, always order the most expensive thing.'"

First, we need to ask thebeave whether they are actually serious. If not, then humor it is. If so, however, then this thread would be a pleasant diversion for the posters is BC&A.

John the Baptist couldn't have been at The Last Supper.

If I recall correctly, he was beheaded at the request of Salome's mother, the Herodess, and his head was presented to her on a plate. This was quite before Jesus' death - in fact, the Bible mentions that Christ was 'grieved' at the news (can't find the reference, however).

The image of jesus sitting at that table bending eveyones spoons, and john the baptist going "hey, stop that!" is really starting to crack me up.

"one of you will betray me, and now for my next trick!"
