Scientists have covered as many theories as possible, revealing some clarity or explanation to this persuasive argument. The most convincing evidence of the Last Supper was revealed by researchers Olivier Bauer, Nancy Labonté, Jonas Saint-Martin and Sébastien Fillion from the Faculty of Theology at the University of Montreal.

I said it" (Matthew
