Maundy Thursday - As tensions mount between Jesus and the religious leaders, Jesus and His disciples prepare to share in the Passover meal, celebrating God bringing them out of Egypt. At this dinner, Jesus washes the feet of His disciples, an act of selflessness and foreshadowing of what He would do on Friday.

Jesus changes the conversation at the Passover meal, telling the disciples that He is going to suffer.

He takes items from this important Jewish meal and gives them new meaning, saying of the bread, “this is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” He says of the wine, “this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

In doing this, He sets up the new Christian tradition of Communion, which is when Christians remember this Passover meal and the sacrifice Jesus made.

After the meal, the group goes to a garden called Gethsemane, where His disciple Judas betrays Him, hands Him over to the Jewish leaders, and He is arrested and taken to the High Priest for trial.

Thursday’s events are recorded in Matthew 26:17–75, Mark 14:12-72, Luke 22:7-62, and John 13:1-38.
