The last supper…not THE Passover supper, simply the last supper the disciples would have with Jesus before the crucifixion. During the Feast of Unleavened Bread, meals together were called Passover meals. Notice in this passage the disciples are now called apostles. Disciples are learners. Apostles are the “sent out ones”. They are being prepared by Jesus to be sent out.

When Jesus announces that one of them would betray Him, the disciples didn’t automatically think of Judas. This lets us know they didn't suspect Judas of any wrongdoing or at least they didn't suspect him of anything this wrong.

The passage about washing the disciples’ feet is so much deeper that just Jesus setting the example of servitude. It’s all about forgiveness. Jesus set the example of forgiveness of sins. He forgave their sins, they were in turn to forgive each other. We need to come to Jesus daily for the removal of the dirt of sin from our lives. If we are saved we are clean but our feet get dirty living in a sinful world.

John 14:1-4 is a very familiar passage that is quoted often.  In these verses Jesus tells His disciples and us that He is going to prepare a place.  For information about the significance of some of the Greek words in this passage, see the book These Last Days pages 328-331.

John 14:13
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
Whatever prayers we lift up should bring the Father glory!

Mark 14:26
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus warns His disciples about forsaking Him.  Peter adamantly responds that he will never forsake Jesus. He even says that he will die with Jesus if necessary. And all the other disciples said the same thing.  How about all of us as Believers in Jesus?  Are there times when we have forsaken Him?  Praise God that even in our weakness of forsaking Him, we have the assurance that He will never forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5)
