The Last Supper

The Last Supper was held at the time of Passover

The time for Passover was close and the chief priests and scribes planned to kill Jesus but they were afraid of what the people would do if they did
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh., which is called the Passover. Luke 22:1
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Luke 22:2
Judas possessed by Satan and plots against Jesus with the chief priests and captains
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luke 22: 3
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them Luke 22:4
The chief priests and captains promised Judas money to betray Jesus and then Judas promised that he would betray Jesus
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. Luke 22: 5
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. Luke 22:6
A Passover first born lamb was killed for the Passover feast. Jesus tells Peter and John to make preparations for the feast explaining how to find a large furnished upper room and He tells them to get it ready and they did as He told them.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed. Luke 22: 7
And he sent Peter and John, saying Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. Luke 22: 8
And they said unto him Where wilt thou that we prepare? Luke 22: 9
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house wehere he entereth in. Luke 22:10
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? Luke 22: 11
And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.Luke 22: 12
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the pasover. Luke 22:13
Jesus breaks bread and drinks wine with the disciples telling them to do this also in remembrance of Him
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him Luke 22:14 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passsover with you before I suffer: Luke 22:15
For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Luke 22:16
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: Luke 22: 17
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. Luke 22:18
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying,This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Luke 22: 20
Jesus tells the disciples that the one who will betray him is at the table when He says "the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table." He was not only telling the disciples but He also warned the man who was to betray's Him (Judas) that something bad would happen to him for betraying Him.
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. Luke 22:21
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! Luke 22: 22
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. Luke 22:23
The disciples argued about who is the greatest among them and Jesus tells them that they are essentially equal one to another, the oldest will have the same honor as the youngest and the chief will be the same as the servant. He also points out that He (a king) is among them as a servant-as an example for us to follow.
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. Luke 22:24
And he said unto them,The kings of the Gentile exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. Luke 22:25
But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. Luke 22:26
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Luke 22:27
Jesus rewards the disciples for following Him and He gave them a high position as the Judges which will Judge the twelve tribes of Israel
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. Luke 22:28
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:29
Thatye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:30
Jesus warns Simon Peter that Satan has expressed the desire to "sift him" in the same way as they sifted wheat. "The first step in process of sifting wheat is to loosen the chaff from the edible grain, which is called threshing. The old fashioned way to do this is to spread the wheat onto a floor made from stone, concrete or tamped earth and to beat it with a flail." Read more: How Do Farmers Sift Wheat? | eHow.com
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: Luke 22:31
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:32
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. Luke 22:33
Jesus warns Simon Peter that he will deny him three times before the cock crows on that same day
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.Luke 22:34

And he said unto them,When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Luke 22:35
Jesus tells the disciples to sell their clothing and buy a sword
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Luke 22:36
Jesus tells them that what was written about Him was yet to come. It is assumed that Jesus was referring to scriptures about Him being crucified, raising from the dead in three days, and returning to judge the earth.
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accompllished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. Luke 22:37
The disciples told Jesus there were two swords among them and Jesus said "It is enough"

And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. Luke 22: 39
