HISTORY of Christian Theology

The last supper Jesus held with his chosen twelve apostles before he went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray where he was betrayed and taken to the high priest to be interrogated before his crucifixion. During this last supper, Jesus broke bread, blessed it and gave it to his apostles, instructing them that it was his body and to eat it in remembrance of him. He then took the cup and blessed it and told his disciples to drink it for it was his blood of the new testament that is shed for many. This ceremony was continued by Jesus’s followers and became one of Christianity’s primary rites, second only to baptism. The record of the Last Supper is found in Matthew chapter 26, Mark chapter 14, Luke chapter 22, and the Gospel of John chapters 13 through 17. (see also Eucharist and liturgy)
