text: Your comment raises an interesting question. Reading Thomas Aquinas back into Jesus' time, I'm sure you will say there must have been a 'transubstantiation' at the last supper. That did not seem to occur to Jesus.
  
  Jesus never thought in terms of Aristotle's philosophy. He was thinking more in terms of Jewish practices of a covenant, and Passover remembrance.
   Whether he was 'present' in two different forms that Thursday night – in his actual human form, and distributing his 'sacramental' presence, likely never occurred to him. Did He 'transubstantiate' himself? Certainly he had not died as yet, so that his death could be 'remembered'. He was giving them a model of something to do in the future.
  
  And when they finished the meal, they just got up and left. No 'tabernacles' or anything. I expect Jesus is rather amazed at our philosophical gymnastics.
