Translation:
Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), 826 that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from you; and provide for our sustenance, 827 for you are the best Sustainer (of our needs)."

826 The words of the Prayer seem to suggest the Last Supper, Cf. also the vision of Peter in "The Acts of the Apostles," 10:9-16.
827 As in Islam, so in Christ's Prayer, sustenance should be taken for both physical and spiritual strength, especially the latter. "Give us this day our daily bread" seems the rendering of a literalist whose attention was fixed too much on bread.
