Summary:It is evident to any serious student of the Fourth Gospel that its treatment of the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist is anomalous. The meaning of John 6.51b-58 is decidedly, even stridently, eucharistic. Yet, despite such obvious eucharistic intent, there is no Johannine account of the eucharistic institution such as we find in 1 Cor 11.23–5 and the later Synoptic accounts of the Last Supper (Mark 14.22–5; Matt 26.26–9; Luke 22.3–6).
