Wisdom prepares a feast, sets her table and invites all to come and eat her bread and drink her wine. The first chapter of John's gospel owes much to the biblical tradition that imagined Wisdom as existing before anything was created and having a role in the work of creation. John's gospel includes no account of the institution of the Lord's Supper but here we can't help hearing Jesus' words as an invitation to the meal of bread and wine we share.
