The Passion narrative presents Jesus as the Passover Lamb. The only one who could save God's people from certain death.
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. This avoids an awkward silence in the narrative and was intended to show humility on the part of Jesus.

No. While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do partake of blessed bread and water each week at Sunday services in commemoration of the Lord's supper, they do not believe in the doctrine of transubstatiation. That is, they do not believe that Jesus is physically present in the emblems. The bread and water are viewed as symbols of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ only.
Some differences between Matthew and Luke's story of Jesus' trial and execution: * In Matthew, Pontius Pilate delivered Jesus to be crucified, and washed his hands. In Luke, he gave Herod of Galilee the responsibility of deciding Jesus' fate, and so did not wash his hands. * At the moment of Jesus' death, Matthew says that there was an earthquake and that dead people rose up out of the graves. Luke recorded no earthquake or resurrection of dead. In Matthew 26:69, Jesus was not present when Peter denied him.In Luke 22:61, Jesus was present when Peter denied him
