Thursday (Maundy Thursday) – The Last Supper, Gethsemane Prayer and the Betrayal Kiss.
Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and celebrated the Passover. This is where He gave the meaning of the meal establishing the first communion and giving the new commandment.
Later that evening He went to the garden of Gethsemane where He was arrested by the Roman soldiers following the betrayal of Judas.
The term known as “Maundy” originates from the Latin work “mandatum” meaning commandment, referring to the new commandment in John 13:34 that Jesus gave to the disciples at the Last Supper. “Love one another as I have loved you, that you love one another."
Although Passover is not a commandment for Christians but began for the Old Testament Jewish nation, it is still observed among the Jews and many believers as a fulfillment of the prophecy of Christ Jesus.
Read the details of these accounts in Matthew 26:17-75; Mark 14:12-72; Luke 22:7-62; John 13:1-38.
