The Easter Story: The Last Supper

Jesus was sharing the Passover meal with his friends. He took a towel and washed their feet.

"No!" Peter said. This was a servants' job! Jesus said, "Be like me. You must help and serve others."

Jesus said to Peter, "Before the cockerel crows tomorrow morning, you will say you do not know me."

Jesus took a loaf of bread, broke it up and gave it to his friends. "This is my body given for you," Jesus said. "Do this to remember me."

Jesus took a cup of wine, gave it to his friends and said, "This is my blood which will forgive many peoples' sins."

Today Christians still share bread and wine to remember that Jesus died on the cross to forgive them.
