This is called Transubstantiation. In the Catholic Church it is believed to be a literal transformation, although the bread and wine do not change in appearance or physical properties. In the Protestant Churches it is generally believed to be symbolic.

Was Jesus last supper with apostles or disciples?

The last meal Jesus spent with his Apostles is called the Last Supper, consisting of only bread and wine. Jesus said a blessing, saying that the bread was the bread of life, and the wine was Jesus' blood. If you go to a Catholic mass, there will be something called a communion, where you take the blessed bread and wine and drink it.


Do Catholics believe that the bread and wine really represent Jesus' Body and Blood?

No, not exactly: Catholic belief is that at the consecration of the bread and wine at Mass, these elements become the true essence of the Body and Blood of Christ. While the physical form is unchanged, it is believed there is an essential transformation. Catholics do not believe that the bread and wine are representative, they believe they are the Body and Blood of Christ (in essence).

Could any of the disciples have seen Jesus sweat blood?

A:This passage is only found in Luke's Gospel (Luke 22:44): "And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." It supposedly took place while Jesus was praying alone in the Garden of Gethsemene and the disciples were asleep some way off.The passage is ambiguous as to whether Jesus sweated actual blood, or drops of sweat that simply looked like blood. Clearly, there was no witness to this, and it is not told in any of the other gospels. Moreover, scholars have now established that Luke's Gospel was substantially based on Mark's Gospel, so the reference to Jesus sweating blood, or like blood, is an embellishment intended to impress Luke's original audience. No one saw Jesus sweat blood.
