Christ came to dinner

and we all sat in bare feet

wondering who invited

that Mary woman to the proceedings,

and doubting that Thomas

would stay long.

On top of what you say, which is true, he was insolent to his mother when he disrespected her by saying: " What have I to do with thee woman?
If you translate that word from Hebrew, it was derogatory.
Plus Leonardo Da Vinci got it wrong. They used to lean on their side and pass things around; not sit as depicted in his famous painting.
