Thursday was spent wholly with the disciples till the arrest in Gethsemane after midnight.] § 144. JESUS PARTAKES OF THE PASCHAL MEAL WITH THE TWELVE APOSTLES AND REBUKES THEIR JEALOUSY Jerusalem, Thursday evening after sunset (beginning of Jewish Friday) Mark 14:17 |Matt. 26:20 |Luke 22:14-16, 24-30 | | 17 And when it was |20 Now when even was |14 And when the hour evening he cometh | come, he was sitting| was come, he sat with the twelve. | at meat with the | down, and the | twelve [1]disciples;| apostles with him. | |15 And he said unto | | them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover[a] with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 24 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them is 25 accounted to be [2]greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority 26 over them are called Benefactors. But ye _shall_ not _be_ so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; 27 and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that [3]sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that [3]sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that 28 serveth. But ye are they which have continued with me in my 29 temptations; and [4]I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my 30 Father appointed unto me, that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [Footnote 1: Many authorities, some ancient, omit _disciples_.] [Footnote 2: Gr. _greater_.] [Footnote 3: Gr. _reclineth_.] [Footnote 4: Or, _I appoint unto you, even as my Father appointed unto me a kingdom, that ye may eat and drink etc._]
