The Jesus Problem: A Restatement of the Myth Theory
Robertson, J. M. (John Mackinnon)
Jesus Christ
Chap. IX.--Now, concerning the Eucharist, [508] thus give thanks:
first, concerning the cup: We thank thee, our Father, for the holy
vine of David [509] thy servant, which thou hast made known to us
through Jesus thy servant; [510] to thee be the glory for ever. And
concerning the broken [bread]: We thank thee, our Father, for the
life and knowledge which thou hast made known to us through Jesus
thy servant; to thee be the glory for ever. [511] Just as this broken
[bread] was scattered over the hills and having been gathered together
became one, so let thy church be gathered from the ends of the earth
into thy kingdom; for thine is the glory and the power through Jesus
Christ forever.[3] But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist,
except those baptised into the name of [the] Lord; for in regard to
this the Lord hath said: Give not that which is holy to the dogs. [512]
Chap. X.--Now after ye are filled [513] thus do ye give thanks: We
thank thee, holy Father, for thy holy name, which thou hast caused to
dwell in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and immortality
which thou hast made known to us through Jesus thy servant; to thee
be the glory forever. Thou, Sovereign [514] Almighty, didst create
all things for thy name's sake; both food and drink thou didst give
to men for enjoyment, that they might give thanks to thee; but to us
thou hast graciously given spiritual food and drink and eternal life
through thy servant. Before all things we thank thee that thou art
mighty; to thee be the glory for ever. Remember, Lord, thy Church,
to deliver it from every evil and to make it perfect in thy love, and
gather it from the four winds, [it] the sanctified, into thy kingdom,
which thou hast prepared for it; for thine is the power and the glory
forever. Let grace come and let this world pass away. Hos-anna to the
God [515] of David! Whoever is holy, let him come, whoever is not,
let him repent. Maranatha. [516] Amen. But permit the prophets to
give thanks as much as they will.
