The implications of this question are significant, for if Judas departed before Christ said, 'Do this,' was he ever a priest or a bishop?
Yes, a bit embarrassing to have to do though...
Jesus handed offered the morsel to Judas, and said whatever thou doth, do it quickly.
The English Mystery plays had Judas receive just before he departed.
This exegesis seems to conflict with St Luke's account in ch 22:21, which apparently places the traitor at the table still after the institution of the Blessed Sacrament.
Coleridge addresses this elsewhere. Will try to share next week. Thanks for this.
