Brothers, is it correct exegesis to say that since Christ said "this is my body...blood" while he was standing there it proves it was symbolic.

It reminds me of Christ later blowing on the apostles saying "Receive the Holy Spirit" and it wasn't the air from his lungs but later a manifestation that included wind and fire with something supernatural inside them, the Holy Spirit working in them.

Any words from you all on this?
