The Sinodos

Section 21

Statute 20. Concerning the reminder that the Oblation is the Body of Christ, and that which comes after it Said Endreyas : We have already ordered this which was said concerning the Oblation, that it is the Body of Christ and his precious Blood, and we declare (it) to you with certainty. And said Yuhanes : Have ye forgotten, O brethren, that on the day when our Lord offered up the bread and the wine he said : This is my Body and this is my Blood. For he did not command that they should treat those as common things. And said MartSl concerning Maryam : See her laughing. And said Maryam : It was not because of that that I laughed, for our Lord said to us : It is good that the sick should be healed by the whole.
