Water, and then a towel. The function of washing the guests' feet was reserved for the slave on the lowest rung on the servants' ladder. Jesus used it as a way of saying that those who wished to be in charge must also first be ready to be the servant of all.

What Jewish holidays were Jesus and his disciples celebrating the night of his arrest?

In the synoptic gospels, Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Jewish Passover on the night of his arrest; the Last Supper was their Seder meal. In John's Gospel, Jesus was arrested on the night before the Passover, thus instead of a detailed mention of the Last Supper, we have the account of Jesus washing their feet. The gospel says that Jesus was crucified on the day prior to the Passover, and makes greater use of Passover imagery than do the other gospels.

Was Paul an apostle - if not why did he call himself one?

Paul was an apostle, but not a disciple. The disciples were those who walked and talked with Jesus personally, but the apostles were those who spread the Good News of Christ to other lands. Another response: Paul was an apostle because he was "called" and "sent out" into ministry by Jesus Christ. According to the account of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, as told in the Book of Acts, Paul experienced a vision of the Resurrected Jesus who called him to be an apostle. In many Christian Denominations, anyone who is specifically called and set apart for a particular ministry might be given the title of "Apostle." The word often is used interchangeably with the word "missionary." The word "disciple" indicates a "follower." In the Christian Scriptures, there were many more disciples following Jesus beyond the well-known 12 Disciples. One text mentions 500 disciples. Believers who follow the teachings of Jesus today are frequently called disciples. There is an entire denomination, The Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, who use the word disciple to indicate church members.

Whose house were the apostles at when Jesus first appeared to them after resurrection?

In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus did not appear to the disciples in a room. His only appearance to them was in a mountain in Galilee. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus first appeared to just two disciples, Cleopas and (presumably) Peter, then to the eleven apostles in a room in Jerusalem. John's Gospel says that Jesus first appeared to just ten disciples in a room in Jerusalem. However, neither evangelist says whose house this room was in, nor how they came to have its use. Mark's Gospel originally recorded no appearances of the risen Jesus The "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-20), which was added much later, harmonises with Luke and John in having the apostles at a meal, but does not explain whose house this was.
