Last Supper

The final meal of Jesus with his disciples before his death. In the
Synoptic gospels

Passover
meal. John 13. 1–11 mentions only a supper at which Jesus washed his disciples' feet, and places the crucifixion before the time of the Passover meal, which has the effect of relating the death of Jesus to the slaughter of the lambs for Passover.
