Then Jesus said unto them, What? Do you think he explained it? No, he did not explain to these Jews. They were given up to judicial blindness.

Oh! how terrible this is when this falls...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. Meat and wine are, after all, only shadows; they feed the shadow-life of the flesh.
