On the evening before his death, Jesus observed his last Passover meal and after the meal, he instituted the 'Last Supper' . Mark 14:17-26; Luke 22:7-39
Mark 14:17 &18 says: "After evening had fallen he came with the twelve. And as they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said: "Truly I say to YOU, One of YOU, who is eating with me, will betray me".. . .THEN (after Judas has been dismissed) it continues in verses 22-24 ". . .And as they continued eating, he took a loaf, said a blessing, broke it and gave it to them, and said: "Take it, this means my body." 23 And taking a cup, he offered thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank out of it. 24 And he said to them: "This means my 'blood of the covenant. . ."
So they were already eating the Passover first, as was part of the law that Jesus fulfilled, THEN he instituted the NEW covenant, with the passing of wine and bread, which would from then on, be celebrated yearly by his anointed followers, IN PLACE OF the Passover (which had been part of the Law from Moses to the Jewish nation). The Mosaic Law was not ended until AFTER Jesus died, so he would have celebrated the Passover faithfully, as a perfect Jew.(Colossians 2:13&14)(Matthew 5:17)
He then passed the wine and bread among his remaining FAITHFUL apostles.
Answer:
The "last supper" WAS the Passover, which is commanded in The Bible to be observed the day before the "feast day" of unleavened bread:
"...the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord..." (Lev.23:5-6).
"...He sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat..." (Luke 22:8).
"...they made ready the Passover. And when the hour was come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. And He said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer..." (verses 13-15).
It was at this time that Jesus "changed" the way the Passover was to be observed in the years ahead, with the "bread and wine" symbols:
"...THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME..." (verse 19).
