Why was Veronese's Last Supper so offensive to the Roman Inquisition that he changed its title to Feast in the House of Levi?

Because, though the actual 'Last Supper' described in scripture included just Christ and his apostles(Mark 14:17/Matthew 26:20/Luke 22:7-14), Veronese followed his usual format and included many extra people, including 'comic dwarves', pagan German soldiers, someone picking his teeth with a fork, a servant with a bloody nose from some 'accident', and several animals...or as Veronese himself said "figures of my own invention". He was ordered to remove the dog and replace it with Mary Madelene, to which he objected. Then finally he was just told to remove all the inappropriate characters within three months. Instead, he just changed the name.

Who are the disciples in the last supper?

Strictly speaking the '12' are called 'apostles' as the word 'disciple' is used of anyone who follows Jesus whether in the 12 or not.

We are not told the exact number of apostles present at the last supper as there may well have been others along with the 12 (like John Mark, Mary Magdalene, Mary and Martha and Lazarus and others). But if we concentrate on the 12 apostles alone then these would be:

Simon (who is also called Peter)

his brother Andrew

James son of Zebedee,

his brother John

Philip

Bartholomew (also called Nathaniel)

Thomas (called Dydimus - 'the twin')

Matthew (also called Levi)

James son of Alphaeus

Thaddaeus (sometimes called Jude or Judas)

Simon the Zealot

Judas Iscariot

Who sits in the center of the table in the picture the Last Supper?

Answer

In the popular paintings of this religious event, Jesus Christ is in the middle amongst 11 disciples. In actuality, Judas was not present after betraying Jesus, so two figures at the table would have had to share the middle spot since there were exactly 12 figures on that night in history.

How did Judas betray Jesus at the last supper?

Judas left the supper early in order to meet with the Jewish authorities to lead them to where Jesus was so they could arrest Him. Judas showed them whom Jesus was by kissing Him in salutation as was the custom of the day.

The last supper Jesus had with his disciples before his crucifixion was a celebration of?

It was the Passover - a memorial of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, "our Passover," which made possible the forgiveness of sins - by human blood we all have sinned and by human blood we all are forgiven:

1 Corinthians 5:7New King James Version (NKJV) 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

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 King

21 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."

What was Barabbas name?

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?

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.

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."

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
