(1) And Jesus said unto them: "Bring me fire and vine branches." They brought them unto him. He laid out the offering, and set down two wine-vessels, one on the right and the other on the left of the offering. He disposed the offering before them, and set a cup of water before the wine-vessel on the right and set a cup of wine before the wine-vessel on the left, and laid loaves according to the number of the disciples in the middle between the cups and set a cup of water behind the loaves.

(42) And they ate before him and he gave them all a portion, but the portion of Benjamin was seven times larger than that of any of theirs.

(4) Jesus said unto his disciples: "Draw near unto me." And they drew near unto him. He turned himself towards the four corners of the world, said the great name over their heads, blessed them and breathed into their eyes. Jesus said unto them: "Look up and see what ye may see."

(1) Wherefore the Saviour, taking the bread, first spake and blessed. Then breaking the bread, He presented it, that we might eat it, according to reason, and that knowing the Scriptures s we might walk obediently. And as those whose speech is evil are no better than those whose practice is evil (for calumny is the servant of the sword, and evil-speaking inflicts pain; and from these proceed disasters in life, such being the effects of evil speech); so also those who are given to good speech are near neighbours to those who accomplish good deeds. Accordingly discourse refreshes the soul and entices it to nobleness; and happy is he who has the use of both his hands. Neither, therefore, is he who can act well to be vilified by him who is able to speak well; nor is he who is able to speak well to be disparaged by him who is capable of acting well. But let each do that for which he is naturally fitted.

(89) He thereby confirmed his Disciples' weak Faith, and so showed, that he is Lord also over the Kingdom of this World, and that all whatsoever we sow, build, plant, eat and drink, is fully in his almighty Power, and that he can bless and increase it, and therefore he is not separated or parted from us; but as a Flower grows out of the Earth, so his Word, Spirit, and Power [or Virtue,] grows in every Thing; and if our Mind be sincerely inclined to him, then we are blessed of him, in Body and Soul; but if not, then the Curse and the Anger of God is in all Things, and we eat Death in all Fruits [or Food.] And therefore it is that we pray, that God will bless our Meat and Drink, also our Bodies and Souls in Christ, and that is right.
