Did Jesus partake or only host the Last Supper?

[BRB]

What do Catholics believe on this subject ?

It does appear in scriptures that Jesus was eating the Passover meal, but then He interrupted events and began the Eucharist. And, He said He would not drink of the fruit of vine again until He came into His new Kingdom.

It looks like Jesus only hosted the Supper, but didn’t partake of Himself.

Catholics teach we are now in the New Kingdom … via the Church experience here on earth. And they say we know this to be the case because Jesus ate / drank wine with Apostles during the 40 days before the Assent into heaven.

However, I only find where it says Jesus ‘broke bread’ and ‘ate fish’ with the disciples. I find nothing about drinking of the cup with the disciples.

Thus, did Jesus 1). drink wine @ the first celebration of Eucharist … and did he 2). drink it in 40 days thereafter, and thus usher in the new Kingdom ?

If not, do we only believe the Church is in the New Kingdom based on Church tradition ?

During the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, Jesus did not partakeof the elements he distributed to those present as he was giving them himself as food and drink. In the account of the passion of Christ, we see two instances of his being offered wine to drink. The first is where he was offered wine mixed with gall before the crucifixion, which, haveing tasted it he spit out. The second instance is during the crucifixion. refer to the account in the Gospel Accourding to St. John. After he saw that his mission was accomplished, He said “I thirst.” at this point, Common table wine, or, as some translations have it “vinegar” was soaked into a sponge and lifted to his lips. when he drank it, He said “It is Finished” and gave up the ghost. This moment was the beginning of the Kingdom. In this moment, Jesus entered into his Glory.

Somehow vinegar, offered by a Roman soldier, doesn’t seem the proper way to fulfill the prophesy.

Then again … you could be right.
