Paul stole it from Mitharism which highly likely stole it from other religions that have died out. If you read the account of the last supper it really does have a dream-like quality to it and he hints that he got the revelation of the events through a vision not through humans. Indicating that, assuming he was truthful, he had heard about Mitharism thing and had a hallucination/dream where Jesus was the stand in.
Later Mark copied it from Paul and the other gospels copied it from him.
It is just one of the many countless examples that demonstrate that the so-called oral tradition of the NT was at best unbelievably small, maybe a few sentences. Which has no connection to any real person. A myth of a dying and rising God copied from older dying and rising gods myths.
