The guest had before them some round loaves instead of plates, and they used ivory knives.
After the prayer, the major-domo laid the knife for cutting the lamb on the table before Jesus, who placed a cup of wine before him, and filled six other cups, each one of which stood between two Apostles.
Jesus blessed the wine and drank, and the Apostles drank two together out of one cup.

Then our Lord proceeded to cut up the lamb; his Apostles presented their pieces of bread in turn, and each received his share.

They ate it in haste, separating the flesh from the bone, by means of their ivory knives, and the bones were afterwards burnt.

They also ate the garlic and green herbs in haste, dipping them in the sauce.

All this time they remained standing, only leaning slightly on the backs of their seats.
