ARE THE GOSPELS LYING ABOUT JESUS HAVING A LAST SUPPER MEAL?

Jesus told the disciples he wanted to eat the Passover supper with them before he would suffer.  Drinking from a cup of wine was essential.

It is felt that the Bible argues that Jesus Christ was under a Nazarite vow.  Here are the texts that are connected to the question (Matthew 2:23; Mark 1:9; Luke 1:26; John 1:45).  Even the early Christians ended being called Nazarenes.  Whatever this means it certainly means they could have been nicknamed for they would not drink wine or touch the body of a deceased person.  Numbers 6 has God laying down these rules for a Nazarite.  Vinegar, according to the rules is banned as is eating even moist grapes.  The purpose of all that is to separate yourself from those things so that you belong only to the Lord.   Whatever kind of Nazarite Jesus was, a real one or nicknamed one, it means that the last supper story with its wine is pure invention.  Jesus refused vinegar on the cross which is significant.

The gospels claim however that the last supper is not a mere concoction that Jesus had nothing to do with.
