Jesus: a table for twenty-six, please.
Maitre D: twenty-six? But I only count 13 of you.
Jesus: yes, but we all want to sit on the same side.

It was difficult at first tearing that little round bread and scooping up that "oh so good" food up with just one hand while sitting on the floor, but to please Allah SWT, anything.

My wife is a lefty, which might explain why so much of what she cooks is so "flavorful".
I took an art history course as an elective in college and our teacher did an in depth lesson on why the Last Supper is so significant. Up until that point the pictures were awkward and closed to the viewer. da Vinci, by putting all of the disciples on one side of the table invited the viewer to attend the meal. It's a masterpiece when compared to the previous views of the event. I seen no reason to put too much into any findings about the painting other than face value even if true. There is Jesus and his 12. Judas is looking away. That is all that is important unless you want something else to be represented. Most just love the image and the incident it captured from their faith.

Ms. Brown, after studying the Bible for the last 35 years or so, and a lot of church history in there, I do feel a fair amount of confidence in the things I say. But I don't know what specifically you are objecting to. Perhaps if you could tell me.

Is this supposed to be evidence that Jesus and Mary Magdelene hooked up?

Try 45 years.
A lot of people believe Jesus was married to Mary. Jesus' celibacy isn't canonical, it's a tradition.

True, but there is no mention of a wife being with Jesus, which would seemingly be a major omission in scripture if he was married.
Some believe Jesus may have been a nazar, which was a man who was unmarried, didn't cut his hair, and meditated and taught, often in fairly remote areas. Most nazars eventually did leave and marry, so it was more of a temporary state.

In sentiment I subscribe to the "Gospel" of "The Davinci Code" by Dan Brown.
He died around 33 (?) and if the idea that he was fully human is true, then it is likely that he had a procreative relationship. It does seem likely that it was Mary Magdalene, but judging by our performance at accurately recording history, any number of scenarios are possible. It is frustrating that we master at dwelling on the inane, but neglect the simple things that God and Jesus said he wanted from us.

Big time!
in Jesus's case, if he was a nazar, there would be no need for him to end this temporary state, knowing that he was going to be the sacrifice for our sins.

That's all conjecture. Even the recent archeological "find" about Jesus's wife was rejected because of its lack authenticity and poor workmanship.In sentiment I subscribe to the "Gospel" of "The Davinci Code" by Dan Brown.
