It was not a celebration, more of his fulfilling the work his father sent him to do. He sealed this work with his death on the cross, but he also left instuctions that all who believed upon his name should remember him by following the example set at the last supper. We are to eat bread or similar in rememberance of his body which was soon to hang on a cross. We are also to drink water or wine in rememberance of his spilt blood. Last we are to renew the covenants we have made with him.

∙ 11y agoThe Lord was not following any Jewish feast, but called a special meeting with His disciples so that He could instruct them in the manner in which they should remember Him after His death. The scriptures tell us " And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you". Most Christian churches follow some pattern of partaking of the bread and water (Wine). In doing so the congregation remember His great sacrifice for all of mankind.

The Gospels say that the Last Supper was a Passover meal. If so, one of Jesus's disciples would likely have taken a lamb, or bought a lamb at the market just outside the Temple and taken it into the Temple to be sacrificed. The bulk of the meat from the Passover sacrifice would then have been taken back to the group and cooked for dinner, where, following the instructions in Exodus 12:8, they would eat it with bitter herbs and unleavened bread. As with all festive meals in the Jewish tradition, the meal would have begun with a blessing over bread (unleavened since this is Passover) and then a blessing over wine, and assuming that the traditions of the four cups of wine and the Afikomen as parts of the Passover Seder existed 2000 years ago, the meal would have ended with a final mouthful of unleavened bread and a cup of wine (the third of the four).

What 'Jewish' feast day did Jesus have the Last Supper on?
Jesus fulfilled the Passover as was given to Moses as an example of His coming. For some Christians, Passover is a memorial of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, "our Passover" which made possible the forgiveness of our sins.
What gospel does not contain a communion or last supper narrative?
A:In the three synoptic gospels, the Last Supper is the feast of the Jewish Paassover (eg Mark 14:16) and each describes the events at that meal, after which Jesus went to pray, was arrested and then crucified on the following day. For theological reasons, John's Gospel has the crucifixion take place on the day before the Passover feast, and so only mentions Jesus and the disciples at an ordinary evening meal. Instead of the Last Supper narrative, John contains a narrative about Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
The last supper Jesus had with his disciples before his crucifixion was a celebration of?

What is the difference between the synoptic accounts of the Last Supper and that of John's Gospel?
A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the Last Supper takes place on the evening of the day of the Passover - it is the Jewish Seder feast. John's Gospel moves the chronology (eg John 19:14) so that in his crucifixion, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of the Passover, and therefore this gospel omits the ritual Last Supper. Apart from mentioning that Jesus and the disciples had their evening meal, John replaces the Last Supper by a ritual in which Jesus washes the feet of the disciples.
