1 | Who was at the Last Supper? | Mark 14:16 | Songbirdca | 48936 | ||
Is there any reason to believe that more than just the twelve chosen disciples were present at the Last Supper? I point you to Mark 14:12-20. Read it carefully, remembering that a 'disciple' is a follower of Christ. Look at vs. 16 and 17 in particular as well as vs. 20. Why would Jesus say it was one of the Twelve if no one else was there?

You're right there could have been more than 12 disciples there in that room with him but really what does it matter if there were?? | ||||||
3 | I'm writing a book, need to know | Mark 14:16 | Songbirdca | 48939 | ||
I'm writing a book and I'm wondering if that would be taking it just a little too far. Would people be offended if say Jesus' mother was there? Songbirdca |

People will be concerned if what you say: 1. contradicts Scripture, 2. does not follow from Scripture, 3. adds to Scripture, 4. takes away from Scripture, and 5. is not reasonable and/or likely in light of generally accepted scholarship about bible history, culture, archaeology, etc. On the other hand, the Bible does not provide exhaustive detail on every situation, but rather gives us what we need to know in order to receive God's message. If you speculate, be sure to clarify to your readers that what you are about to say is speculation and explain why you are doing this. So, why would you want people to consider the possibility that Mary was present at the Last Supper? Parable |

It's central to the story I'm writing. Everything is from her perspective. Since they went up each year to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, I'm assuming she would be there (she was there for the crucifixion). Also, I'm told the Upper Room was big enough to hold about forty people. Why would Jesus need a room that large for twelve people? I need to take a little artistic license, but only if it's feasible.

If you are writing a novelization, I suggest you review two others that I consider significant contributions. The first is an example of what not to do, while the second brings the story to life through descriptive detail and cultural insight. This one is not faithful to the scriptures: "The Gospel According to the Son" by Norman Mailer. In the introduction, Mailer slanders the authority of Scripture by having Jesus say that the gospels contain things He never said or do things He never did, and excuses this by saying the authors hearts' were in the right place. The other, which I consider to be faithful to what we believe, is "The Master: A Life of Jesus", by John Charles Pollock. The writing is smooth and easy to read, the settings are rich with impact and the narrative expands upon what is in the Bible in a way that does not offend. Parable |
