Did Yahshua ever said grace like how christians do it today before meals, as recorded in scripture?

Shalom Ali,
Yeshua didn't practice outward rituals and traditions for that would be the same as what he condemned the Pharisees of doing, which the modern Christian also does. It's suppose to be about the inner man not the outer man.
Peace

Yes. Luke 22:17. In Judaism, this is known as a brocha; a blessing. We can tell you word for word the very prayer Jesus would have said at the Last Supper!

i think the jews say grace, so if its not in scripture, its a tradition carried from judasim, which means jesus probably said grace since he was jewish

Yes, Jesus prayed (said grace, gave thanks, etc.) before eating. See Matthew 14:19- "And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people." and Matthew 26:26- "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."

Look: "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks (eulogeo) and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body.' Then he took the cup, gave thanks (eucharisteo) and offered it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you' " (Matthew 26:26-27, NIV).
"Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves" (Mark 6:41). The Greek word for "gave thanks" (NIV) or "blessed" (KJV) is "eulogeo," from which we get our English word "eulogy." It means "speak well of, praise, extol." The word commonly translates the Hebrew word, "barak," "to bless." But it wasn't the food Jesus was "speaking well of" or "blessing," it was his Father.

It is all Pagan.
What? You think Christianity came up with anything original?

Father K nailed it.
If Jesus did it, we should follow that example.
Kudos.

Nope.
Jewish tradition is to do THE THANKS after the meal.
Many Jewish do a THANK YOU both before and after.

In the scriptures, Jesus always gave thanks for his meals.
