Alt Text: Panel 1: Three disciples and Jesus stand outside a closed tavern at night. One disciple says, “Oh man, the tavern’s closed.” Panel 2: The other disciple sighs and says, “Aww, too bad. I was really in the mood for a drink.” Jesus looks thoughtful. Panel 3: The disciples watch Jesus expectantly. Panel 4: Jesus puts on a blood-drawing cuff and prepares to prick his arm with a needle, saying, “Sigh… Fine.”
I mean, he could’ve just turned water into wine, just sayin’… And doesn’t wine transubstantiate into His blood, and not vice versa? There’s also a chance that I might be taking all this way too seriously.
Honestly it all depends on how you view his superpowers.
The only time he ever turns water into wine was when he annoying mother kept bothering him about a lack of wine and the servants were the ones who filled the stone water jars…
Maybe the power doesnt work without the nagging of a woman or the work of slaves??
The Bible is remarkably lax in its descriptions of his powers… They couldve learned a thing or two from Marvel.
Honestly, I believe you’re taking this even more seriously than I do.
Ive had this discussion before so I’ve had time to think about it.
Spiderman vs Jesus. Who wins? GO!
The fact that Spiderman would win is the reason Jesus would win. The match would be so unfair his daddy would step in and finish it.
That is his thing, but the joke here is that his blood is also often represented as wine / grape juice. The unexpectedness of it is where the humor of this specific strip comes from.
Now I’m the one being taken too seriously. I was just saying, I already got the joke and everything. Didn’t mean to bait anyone.
