367 ON JESUS’ LAST SUPPER A trace of that very calendar can also be noted in Acts 2,13. In the Pentecost narrative, some take to mocking the apostles, saying: “ They are filled with new wine”. Then Peter replies (v. 15): “These men are not drunk, since it is only the third hour of the day”. This “ new wine” cannot be available before the grape harvest, some two months after the normal Pentecost. Incidentally, the timing indicated in Acts 2,1 is strange: “It happened, when the day of Pentecost was being fulfilled (symplhroysuai ; see Luke 9,51)” ˜ The verb denotes a process close to completion, and omitting it would make the phrase clearer in its actual context: “on the day of Pentecost ”. Indeed, the WT has a plural “when the days were being fulfilled ”, which provides a glimpse of an earlier meaning — a Pentecostal period during which new wine is drunk. In other words, this alludes to a second Pentecost period. Moreover, Peter’s speech has an eschatological meaning, especially with the quotation of Joel mentioned above, and this wine may have had a ritual meaning to the same effect; the eschatological meal in 1 QSa 2,11-22, with the two Messiahs (son of Aaron and son of David) and all the tribes, shows the Messiah son of Aaron opening it with a blessing of the firstfruits of bread and wine 45 (çwryt). It is noteworthy that all the instances discussed above belong to Luke-Acts. VII. Pending Problems In all four Gospels, the Passion narrative spans one full day, from Thursday at sunset to Friday at sunset, and displays a significant concentration of events. The fourth Gospel, however, entails only one major issue: the twofold trial of Jesus before Pilate, consisting of a first session in the praetorium (John 18,28), which concludes with a scourging, and then a second session at a place called Gabbatha (19,13). In other respects, the Jewish context is consistent, including the absence of a competent Sanhedrin, ‘Man, if you know what you are doing, blessed are you, but, if you do not know, you are cursed for you are breaking the Law’”. According to t.Ned 4 :3, çwryt in the Bible means “wine” (Deut 11,14): 45 but later the term designates a sweet, unfermented drink. However, in 11QT 43 :7-9, it is clearly “new wine”, as stressed by MILIK, Ten Years, 105.
