I think Jesus did in fact offer Judas the Last Supper.  Is there any proof for this?

Clarification of Question by jat-ga on 31 May 2004 09:51 PDT

Oops.  I didn't make myself clear.  Judas was present with Jesus and
the other eleven disciples at the Last Supper before Jesus was to be
crucified.  On this everyone agrees.  My question has to do not with
Judas being there at the main supper but rather Judas was present to
receive what we now call the "Lord's Supper".  So, when Jesus took the
bread and said "This is My body..." and when He took the cup and said
"This is...My blood..." was Judas present and did he partake?  Sorry
about the lack of clarity.  I guess I assumed Google researchers are
able to understand what I mean no matter what I say...

John 13:26 says that Jesus identified His betrayer by dipping a piece
of bread and giving it to Judas at the Last Supper.

"Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have
dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon."

It takes a little reasoning and logic but the timeline can be worked
out to the following.

Jesus washes the feet of the 12 apostles and quotes Psalm 41:9 ?He
that used to feed on my bread has lifted up his heel against me.?
Jesus explains that one of them will betray him.
They are troubled at this and ask in turn ?it is not I, is it??
Including Judas Iscariot.
Peter wants to know who so he asks John, who is next to Jesus, to ask him.
?It is one of the twelve, who is dipping with me into the common bowl,?
Jesus gives Judas the morsel to show it is him.
After that, Satan again enters Judas, taking advantage of the opening
in his heart, which has become wicked.
Later that night, Jesus fittingly calls Judas ?the son of destruction.?
After Judas leaves, Jesus takes a loaf, says a prayer of thanks,
breaks it, and gives it to them, saying: ?Take, eat.? He explains:
?This means my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing
this in remembrance of me.?
At John 13:26-30 it shows that Judas leaves the meal right after he
eats the morsel.
It must be before the sharing of the meal because those that shared in
it are said to reunite with Jesus in his kingdom.
Matthew 26:29 ?But I tell YOU, I will by no means drink henceforth any
of this product of the vine until that day when I drink it new with
YOU in the kingdom of my Father.?
Whereas Judas is referred to as ?the son of destruction?, and
obviously not being rewarded with the rest of the 11 apostles.
