3.1 What is so important about the Last Supper?
KW:
Feast of Unleavened Bread- First day of the Passover festival
Last Supper- When Jesus ate with His disciples for the last time and the moment where the Eucharist was discovered.
Passover- Jewish festival celebrating the release from Egypt
-upper room- The room where the Last Supper took place
-Passover. It is a whole week in the year where Jewish families get together and eat a meal in memory of the freedom of slavery of Jews.
-;'This is my body'- Priest says it in mass
-Also said in the 'Feeding of the 5000'- shows confidence
-'This is my blood'- sacrifice
-'Covenant'- Prophets made a promise with God, Jesus made a promise with God that He will forgive our sins.
-'Poured out for many'- Jesus is here to help everyone
-This shows that Jesus is in authority when He told the disciples to fetch a colt for the Passover lamb, which is needed for sacrifice as it was the Feast of the Unleavened Bread.

-'Not what I will but what you will'- Could Jesus be seperate from the Trinity
-Peter can't be promising as the first Pope as he fell asleep when Jesus needed him/them most.
-We should be faithful to God and pray for His guidance.
3.4 Betrayal and arrest
