What was the size of jesus cross?
The New Testament does not state the dimensions or the shape of the 'cross' used for the Crucifixion. Was it a 'T' or 't' shape? Was it just the top cross section to be nailed to a stationary pole or tree?? No one knows and any answer is pure speculation.
John Calvin's view of the Lords Supper?
Calvin tried to avoid what he considered two major errors. First, that the wine and bread were supernaturally turned into the essence of the body and blood of Jesus (Roman Catholic belief) and second that the Supper was a memorial to someone who died a long time ago. Therefore, he emphasized that the Lord's Supper was a remembrance of Christ, held in obedience to Christ's command, and that the risen Christ is fully present with the celebrants and that they do receive spiritual nourishment from Him through this sacrament.
From Wikipedia (see link)
......
Calvin defined a sacrament as an earthly sign associated with a promise from God. He accepted only two sacraments as valid under the new covenant: baptism and the Lord's Supper (in opposition to the Catholic acceptance of seven sacraments). He completely rejected the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation and the treatment of the Supper as a sacrifice. He also could not accept the Lutheran doctrine of sacramental union in which Christ was "in, with and under" the elements. His own view was close to Zwingli's symbolic view, but it was not identical. Rather than holding a purely symbolic view, Calvin noted that with the participation of the Holy Spirit, faith was nourished and strengthened by the sacrament. In his words, the eucharistic rite was "a secret too sublime for my mind to understand or words to express. I experience it rather than understand it."

Where did Jesus and his disciples spend the 'Last Supper' in Jerusalem?
It is commonly referred to the 'Upper Room' in Jerusalem - see below:
Matthew 21:1-3New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
Barabbas was the criminal who was released instead of Jesus, at the trial in front of Pontius Pilate. The gospels do not say where he was born, but Jerusalem seems likely. Another possibility is that Barabbas was not a real person. It was the practice of the Jews at the time of Yom Kippur to release one sheep which symbolically carried all the sins of the world and to sacrifice another. It has been pointed out that, in Hebrew, Barabbas means "Son of the Father" and that Jesus claimed to be the Son of the Father and that it was he who carried all the sins of the world. Some scholars suggest that this was an allegory to show that the Jews released the wrong "Son of the Father."
What garden did Jesus pray in on maundy Thursday?
If you ask the name of the garden before he was crucified it is Gethsemane.
How was the last supper linked with the Passover meal?
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).
What is the meaning of the wisdom in the 7 gift of the Holy Spirit?
There are 9 gifts Holy Spirit not 7. The "word of wisdom" is the imparting of practical information that you need to live, i.e. wisdom.
The gift of wisdom is the wisdom of God.
This gift should not be confused with the gift of: the Word of Knowledge, which is a separate a distinct gift of the Holy Spirit.
To be a specific, The Word of Knowledge gift gives piece of information that God reveals to somebody that they could not have naturally known immediately for some purpose that the believer needs the information for.
What are the actions of Jesus Christ during Last Supper?
During the Last Supper Jesus did two actions that are remember in Churches by communion. Corinthians 1:23-26 is they story
"The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, 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, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
Who sits in the center of the table in the painting the last supper?
John, the Beloved Disciple, sits to the right of Jesus in The Last Supper.
Who betrayed Jesus on Maundy Thursday?
Judas' kiss of betrayal was a sign to the mob who came to arrest Jesus that he was the one to arrest. A kiss was, and still is, a common greeting custom in the Middle East. Using it in this way was the ultimate hypocrisy.
What Jewish feast was celebrated with his apostles at the Last Supper?
Passover
"And you shall eat of it [roasted lamb] this way, with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in a hurry. It is the LORD's Passover." (Exodus 12.11)
Who are the people in the last supper?
The twelve disciples were with Jesus at the last supper. They were:
14. Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James
and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15. Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16. And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. (Luke 6.14.)
The Last Supper was what Jesus Himself celebrated with His disciples shortly before His death. What Christians celebrate is known as "the Lord's Supper" or "communion."
How Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate it
We celebrate, or hold a memorial of Jesus "last supper," or "Lord's evening meal," once a year on the date according to the ancient Jewish lunar calendar that it occurred, which was the Jewish month of Nisan, on the 14th of that month. This was also the original date of the Jewish Passover celebration. On our solar calendar, that date falls every year somewhere between the middle of March to the early part of April.
The importance of this date was stressed by Jesus himself at Luke 22:19, where he said to "keep doing this in rememberance of me."
Several years later after Jesus death, his disciples are on record as carrying out this command to celebrate this occassion. We read this account at 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. The Apostle Paul related to those present " For I received from the Lord that which I also handed on to YOU, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf and, after giving thanks, he broke it and said: "This means my body which is in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me." He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: "This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as YOU drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as YOU eat this loaf and drink this cup, YOU keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives."
By celebrating this event, Christians are obeying Jesus command to do so and, as Paul stated "proclaiming the death of the Lord until he arrives."
What was The Last Supper about?
The 'Last Supper' is a fresco depicting Jesus with his disciples as they partake of the meal before passover as described in the Bible book of Luke. This most famous image was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The subject of the Last Supper has been painted by many other artists.
Answer:
As Luke reveals, the "last supper," as men call it... wasn't the meal "before" the Passover... it WAS the Passover as commanded by scripture.
"...He (Jesus) sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat..." (Luke 22:8).
As commanded in Leviticus, the Passover lamb was killed and eaten the day BEFORE the commanded "feast day"... the "first day of Unleavened Bread."
"In the FOURTEENTH day of the first month at even (evening) is the Lord's Passover. And on the FIFTEENTH day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread..." (Lev.23:5-6).
God's reckoning for a "day" begins at sundown, with the night-portion of the day first... unlike man's reckoning of a "day," beginning at "midnight" (the witching hour).
So, that "last Passover" of Jesus' mortal existence... was when He "changed the way the Passover was to be observed" by His disciples (and His church) from that time forward, until He returns. A solemn "memorial observance" with the "bread and wine" symbols... a remembrance of His Perfect Sacrifice, of which the Passover has always pointed.
The "last supper" was eaten on the evening of the fourteenth of the first month as commanded by law... and He (the Passover Lamb of God)... was arrested later that evening by the Jews... handed over to Pilate in the morning... beaten, persecuted and prosecuted - and sacrificed as the prophecy of the Passover pictured before the fourteenth ended. Before the evening of the fifteenth day of the first month... the feast day of unleavened bread.
The "feast day," the fifteenth, is an annual "Sabbath day"... not the Passover on the fourteenth.
"...the Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross (stauros) on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day [annual sabbath day],) besought Pilate..." (John 19:31).
The purpose of the "last supper," then, was Jesus' commanding the new way to observe the Passover with the bread and wine symbols - the first annual Holy Day of God in the spring of each year, that has always pointed to Christ's sacrifice, which He fulfilled by the end of that day.
Where was the last place that Jesus was on earth?
ANSWER:
Acts 1:4-12
"And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey."
Simply put, it is the Mount called Olivet.

Is Judas in the last supper picture?
if you read Jonh 13:21 and on, you will see that the loved diciple was at Jesus shoulder, the Peter was closer to him. He gave the wet bread to Judas as a signal that he was the one to turn him in. this means he was further away in the table. Jesus had to get up to give the bread to him. The especific seat is not identified in the gospel. Additional answer: If you mean Leonardo's painting, Judas ought to be the third person to the left from Jesus, sitting calm instead of excited like most of the others.
What was Jewish feast at Last Supper?
no
Answer:
The start of Passover (Jewish days went from sunset to sunset). Jesus was crucified as our Passover Lamb on the daylight portion of Passover. He was buried just before the ending of Passover and the start of the High Annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread beginning the that evening at sunset.
What did jesus tell his disciples at the last supper?
Our Blessed Lord's instructions to the disciples are contained all throughout the four Gospels, some of them are specific to individuals, for instance, St. Peter in St. Matthew 16:17-19 where St. Peter is commissioned as the first Vicar of Christ - based on Isaiah 22:15-25. Others were instructions to all the apostles and their successors, for instance at the Last Supper when Our Blessed Lord instituted the priesthood and the Mass and told His Apostles to do this in memory of Him.
There are many other instructions throughout the Gospels, all ending in their commission at the end of St. Matthew's Gospel, what the Protestants refer to as the "Great Commission" St. Matthew 28:16-20, the last four verses of St. Matthew's Gospel - directed to the Apostles and their successors:
The Commissioning of the Disciples
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”

What was the covenant Jesus made at the Last Supper?
It is to do the will of God; as it says in Psalm 40.8. "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart."
And it is confirmed in the body, or the people of Jesus; as it says in Hebrews 10.16. "This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them."
Do Lutherans believe in the real presence in the Lord's Supper?
Yes. And, Lutherans do not dogmatize how the real presence happens as do Roman Catholics in their doctrine of Transubstantiation. That presence is left a mystery and Jesus' words are taken at face value. "This BREAD is my BODY..." According to formal Lutheran doctrine, the bread is there and so with it is the true body of Christ. Roman Catholics say that the bread is not there and is referred to as an "accident." Martin Luther used the formula "in, with and under." The body and blood are received in, with and under the elements of bread and wine. Communion, in Lutheran ideology, is type/antitpe of the incarnation. The divine is made tangible just as happens in Jesus. He is God, but can be seen and touched and sensed in common, earthly form.
