Munhu wese anoshandiswa kumufananidzo waKristu semufudzi akanaka uye gwayana raMwari, asi gwayana rePaseka rinopa dambudziko kuvaKristu vanodya miriwo. Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira kwaiva Paseka apo Kristu nevaapostora vakadya nyama yegwayana here?
Mavhesi evhangeri (ekutanga matatu) anotaura kuti Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira kwakaitika usiku hweIsita; izvi zvinoreva kuti Jesu nevadzidzi vake vakadya gwayana rePaseka (Mat. 26:17, Mk. 16:16, Ruka. 22:13). Zvisinei, Johane anotaura kuti Chirairo chakaitika kare: “Paseka isati yasvika, Jesu, achiziva kuti nguva yake yakanga yasvika yokuti abve munyika ino aende kuna Baba, . . . akasimuka pachirairo, akabvisa nguo yake yokunze, uye , akatora tauro, akazvisunga chiuno.” (Joh. 13: 1-4). Kana kutevedzana kwezviitiko kwakanga kwakasiyana, saka Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira kwaisagona kuva kudya kwePaseka. Wezvenhau wechiNgezi Geoffrey Rudd, mubhuku rake rakanakisisa rinonzi Why Kill for Food? inopa mhinduro inotevera yechirahwe chegwayana rePaschal: Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira kwakaitika neChina, kurovererwa - zuva raitevera, Chishanu. Zvisinei, maererano nenhoroondo yechiJudha, zvose zviri zviviri izvi zvakaitika pazuva rimwe chete, sezvo vaJudha vachirangarira kutanga kwezuva idzva kuva kunyura kwezuva rakapfuura. Chokwadi, izvi zvinorasa kuverengwa kwenguva kwese. Muchitsauko chegumi nepfumbamwe cheEvhangeri yake, Johane anoshuma kuti kurovererwa kwakaitika pazuva rokugadzirira Isita, ndiko kuti, musi weChina. Gare gare, mundima XNUMX, anoti mutumbi waJesu hauna kusiiwa pamuchinjikwa nokuti “Sabata iroro rakanga riri zuva guru.” Mune mamwe mazwi, kudya kweSabata kweIsita pakuvira kwezuva kwezuva rakapfuura, Chishanu, mushure mekurovererwa. Kunyange zvazvo evhangeri nhatu dzokutanga dzichipokana neshanduro yaJohani, iyo nyanzvi dzeBhaibheri dzakawanda dzinofunga kuti inhoroondo yakarurama yezviitiko, shanduro idzi dzinosimbisana mune dzimwe nzvimbo. Somuenzaniso, muEvhangeri yaMateo ( 26:5 ) kunotaurwa kuti vaprista vakasarudza kusauraya Jesu mukati momutambo, “kuti parege kuva nokumukirana pakati pavanhu.” Nekune rumwe rutivi, Mateo anogara achitaura kuti Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira uye kurovererwa kwakaitika pazuva rePaseka. Mukuwedzera, zvinofanira kucherechedzwa kuti, maererano netsika yeTalmudic, zvinorambidzwa kuita matare epamutemo uye kuuraya vapari vemhosva pazuva rokutanga, rinoyera zvikuru, reIsita. Sezvo Paseka iri tsvene seSabata, vaJudha havana kutakura zvombo pazuva iroro (Mk. 14:43, 47) uye vaisabvumirwa kutenga machira nemiriwo yekuvigwa (Mk. 15:46, Ruka. 23:56). Pakupedzisira, kukurumidza uko vadzidzi vakaviga Jesu kunotsanangurwa nechishuvo chavo chokubvisa mutumbi pamuchinjikwa isati yatanga Paseka (Mk. 15: 42, 46). Kusavapo chaiko kwekutaurwa kwegwayana kwakakosha: hakuna kumbotaurwa maererano neKudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira. Wezvenhau weBhaibheri J. A. Gleizes anokarakadza kuti kupfurikidza nokutsiva nyama neropa nechingwa newaini, Jesu akazivisa chinzwano chitsva pakati paMwari nomunhu, “kuyananiswa kwechokwadi nezvisikwa zvake zvose.” Dai Kristu akanga adya nyama, angadai akaita gwayana, kwete chingwa, mucherechedzo worudo rwaShe, ane zita rayo gwayana raMwari rakayananisira zvivi zvenyika norufu rwake amene. Ufakazi hwose hunonongedzera kuidi rokuti Kudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira kwakanga kusiri kudya kwePaseka negwayana risingachinji, asi “chidyo chokuonekana” icho Kristu akagoverana navadzidzi vake vanodiwa. Ikoku kunosimbiswa namushakabvu Charles Gore, Bhishopi weOxford: “Tinobvuma kuti Johane anoruramisa nenzira yakarurama mashoko aMarko pamusoro peKudya Kwemanheru Kwokupedzisira. Kwakanga kusiri kudya kwechinyakare kweIsita, asi kudya kwemanheru kwekuonekana, kudya Kwake kwekupedzisira nevadzidzi Vake. Hapana kana nyaya imwe chete pamusoro pechirairo ichi inotaura nezvetsika yechidyo chePaseka ”(“ A New Commentary on Holy Scripture, p. Hakuna nzvimbo imwe mushanduro chaidzoidzo dzamagwaro echiKristu apakuvamba umo kudya nyama kunogamuchirwa kana kuti kunokurudzirwa. Zvizhinji zvezvikonzero zvakatangwa namaKristu akazotevera nokuda kwekudya nyama zvakavakirwa pakushandura kusina kururama.
