A day begins at sunset and continues until the next sunset. The evening meal was the start of Passover. The 'trial' and crucifixion occurred on the day portion of Passover. Jesus had to be hurriedly put in the tomb because the Feast of Unleavened Bread was to begin at sunset.

Which Gospels include the Last Supper?
The Last Supper was the Passover feast and appears in the Synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, because Passover occurred on the Thursday before the crucifixion.

Where in the Bible is the story of Jesus washing the disciple feet?
It's found in John 13. It took place at the Passover... the "Last Supper."
Did Jesus celebrate the Passover before he died?
A:In the synoptic gospels - yes. When Jesus and the disciples celebrated the Passover feast, this would become the Christian Last Supper. After the supper was finished, they sang a hymn (Mark 14:26), as was the practice at the end of the Passover meal. For theological reasons, John's Gospel places the crucifixion on the day of preparation for the Passover - the day before. Jesus did not celebrate the Passover.

What happened to Jesus after the Passover?
In the synoptic gospels, the Last Supper marked the day of the Passover, a day that Jews mark by a ritual meal. The next day, he was tried, crucified and buried. In the Gospel According to John, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples on the day before the Passover, with no particular emphasis on the supper they had. Jesus was tried, crucified and buried on the day of the Passover.
What book of the Bible tells of the Last supper?
The Last Supper was held on the occasion of the Jewish Passover feast, which in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) was the evening before the crucifixion of Jesus. The synoptic gospels all contain the story of the Last Supper. John's Gospel prefers the crucifixion to be on the day of preparation for the Passover feast, so John omits the Last Supper account, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
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.

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.
Did Jesus celebrate the Passover dinner one night before?
A:No. In the synoptic gospels, the Last Supper was indeed the celebration of the Last Supper. Hebrew days are counted from evening to evening, so Jesus was crucified at 9 am, the third hour, on the day of the Passover. However, for theological reasons the author of John's Gospel changed both the day and time of day for the crucifixion, which took place on the "day of preparation." Notice that there is no mention of a Last Supper (because it was not yet the Passover), but after the normal meal Jesus washed the feet of the apostles. He was crucified at 12 noon, the sixth hour, and spent only three hours on the cross.
