Jesus washed the deciples feet at the last supper. This was something that a servant did and Jesus was showing them that they too are to be servants. How humbling that must have been for the deciples to see the Son of God washing their feet.

Why were Jesus and his Apostles gathered at the Last Supper?
According to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus was crucified the day after the Passover feast. Since Jesus and the disciples were themselves Jews, they sat down to a Passover feast on the evening before his crucifixion; this was the Last Supper.According to John's Gospel, Jesus was actually crucified on the day of the Passover feast, so John does not report the Last Supper. Instead, this Gospel reports Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.AnswerThe Passover meal was significant to the Jews because of their covenant with God. A covenant means a solemn and binding agreement. In the Old Testament God made several covenants with humanity: the covenant of Abraham as an example, where God promised him, despite his advancing years, that he would be the father of a whole nation. But the Passover was the great covenant between God, Moses and the israelites, as they made their escape from slavery in Egypt. The Passing Over (Pass-over) of a disease that caused the Egyptian's first born children to perish, did not affect the Jews at all. Therefore they saw this deliverance as God's great covenant between them (his 'chosen' people) and himself. That he would be their God and Saviour, and one day, in a New Covenant, would send the Messiah - who would save all people for all time. However, in the Last Supper, Jesus makes it very clear just what is happening; instead of commemorating God's old covenant, he is here instituting God's promised New Covenant."And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."[Luke 22 19-21]Thus, in the Last Supper, Jesus is instituting God's New Covenant between, not just the jews, but all people and God. In his death, resurrection and ascension, the new covenant was sealed - a new covenant which superceded the old one.Therefore for Christians, the last Supper is a very significant event that underlines just who Jesus is - the promised Messiah and Saviour of all, and, because of this, this scene is re-enacted at the mass or Communion service as Jesus commanded - in rememberance of him.In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the Last Supper meal is described in detail, with the focus being placed on the New Covenant between God and humanity. However, in John's Gospel, focus lies elsewhere, as John was less concerned with the Jewish Covenant, and more concerned with the real nature of Jesus - so much that he contributes several chapters of his book to the last hours of Jesus life on earth whereas the other synoptics deal with the matter in a few verses. In John, the Last Supper dwells more on Jesus washing his disciples' feet - but is there nevertheless:"The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him."... When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place.... {When questioned about his betrayer}, Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him."What you are about to do, do quickly," Jesus told him, but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.[John 13: 2-5, 12, 26-28]
Can the Last Supper be compared to pagan traditions?
A:The Last Supper of the synoptic gospels was undoubtedly a Jewish Seder meal, celebrated each year at the Passover. Not only was it held on the evening of the Passover, but Mark's Gospel tells us that it took the traditional three hours and was finished by singing a hymn. Because John's Gospel shifts the chronology slightly for theological reasons, to have Jesus crucified on the day of the Passover, this book does not describe a Last Supper, instead having Jesus wash the feet of the disciples. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament: The Making of the Christian Myth) believes that the format of the Last Supper and its re-enactment by the early Christians actually reflect a pre-Christian tradition. The Hellenistic period saw the emergence of free associations that took the form of clubs or fellowships. These followed the pattern of gathering for meals, conducting business and engaging in social activity. It was customary for an association to take the name of a patron deity ("The Fellowship of Hercules"; "The Company of Dionysos") and to acknowledge the purpose of its gathering by making some reference to the god at an appropriate juncture. At the beginning of the meal was one such appropriate moment. Another was when a round of wine was poured and toasts were to be made. It was then that a small libation to the god was in order and some form of invocation could be uttered.The apostle Paul, who seems unaware of the details of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, writes in 1 Corinthians11:23-25 of a tradition he had "received" and passed onto the Corinthians at some earlier time:"That the Lord Jesus on the night he was handed over took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saylng, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it in remembrance of me."Mack believes that it is arguable that this earliest reference to the Last Supper was inspired by the Hellenistic associations. Decades later, the author of Mark's Gospel placed it in the context of the Jewish Passover.
What happened at The Last Supper?
The Last Supper refers to the gathering of Jesus and his disciples just before he was arrested and taken to Pontius Pilot for sentencing. There are many paintings of the event with Jesus seated at a long table with the disciples seated on either side. This was the dinner where he told them to drink the wine that it was his blood; and to eat the bread that it was his flesh. This is the basis for communion in many Christian ceremonies.
What day did Jesus celebrate the last supper and gave us the echarist?
First, we have to understand that the Jewish Calendar at the time of Christ was different than the Roman Calendar we use today. Like Genesis, a day begins at sunset and ends on the following sunset. Some scholars have dated the Passover Meal, aka 'The Last Supper' as beginning at sunset Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD. He instituted the annual memorial of taking bread and wine to remember Him and the New Covenant He was establishing - not fully implemented until the Millennial Rule of Christ. He also instituted the custom of washing another's feet to show humility of serving others. Some Christians groups established the Eucharist custom to picture this event. They do it daily and not annually sometimes using a wafer and do not wash feet.
