John therefore omits the description of the Last Supper, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.The synoptic gospels draw allusions to the lamb of the Passover, beginning with the story of Pontius Pilate releasing Barabbas instead of Jesus. By having Jesus sacrificed on the day of Preparation, John's Gospel can draw even closer parallels to the Jewish Passover, with Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, which must have no bones broken (John 19:33).
