- Parallels between the Satyricon and New Testament texts
- The moment of supper and anointment, do not give me the news of your death: “He has already anointed my body to prepare me for burial.” (Mark 14:8)
- Rooster crowing is a harbinger of death: Jesus said, “Today and tonight, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” (Mark 14:30)
- “Eating your body” theme: “Take and eat,” he said, “this is my body.” (Matthew 26:26)
Especially the word “testament” used:
A governor crucifying some thieves, a soldier being placed in the grave so that no one could steal the body, the crucified bodies disappearing.
“The missing body illustrates that the absent corpse is now a god or godlike with or without explicit explanation.”
