For the festival of Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem with his disciples. Jesus and his disciples sat at the upstairs room of the house where a Jesus worshipper stayed. They whispered who will the first to be called by Jesus. 

"Perhaps he might be Peter." 

"No, he might be John." 

Jesus stood up, without saying a word, poured some water into a water basin and tied a towel around his waist. Then, he called his disciples' names, one by one, had each of them sit down on a chair, and washed their feet. 

He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Are you going to wash my feet, Lord? Servants are obliged to do it. Never at any time will you wash my feet." 

Jesus answered. 

"If I do not wash your feet, you will no longer be my disciple." 

Then, Peter said. 

"Lord, do not wash only my feet, then! Wash my head and hands, too." 

Jesus said. 

"Anyone who has taken his bath is completely clean and does not have to wash himself, except for his feet." 

Jesus did so in order to suggest that all of his disciples were to repent, as those who had been salvaged washed their feet, everyday. He showed that it did not matter who will be the first to be called, but who will be first to serve others. Jesus wanted his disciples to serve and trust one another, after he had left. 

"Do as I did to you. And, you will be blessed." 



While Jesus and his disciples were at the table eating a dinner, he said. 

"I tell you that one of you will betray me. "

"Tell who will do so, please." 

“When Judas asked, Jesus dipped a bread into wine, and said to him, 

"Do what you have to do." After Jesus said so, Judas stood up and went out.

Jesus' disciples except Judas did not understand what Jesus meant to say They thought that Judas went out to buy more food. 

Jesus broke a loaf of bread into pieces and then distributed them to his disciples. And, he said. 

"This is my body." 

Then, he took a cup of wine, gave thanks to God, and handed it out to them. Jesus said. 

"I tell you that this is my blood which is poured to wash off your sins." 

After saying so, he was distressed. The dinner at the day was the last supper with Jesus. 



After finishing the dinner, Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives, in order to prepare for his death, saying his prayer. A few of his disciples went out with him. 

Jesus said. 

"All of you will betray me, tonight." 

Peter did not hesitate to answer. 

"Lord, I will never betray you, even though all the rest of people do. 

“Peter, I tell you that before a rooster crows, tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me." 

"No, I will never say that, even if I have to die with you." 

All of his disciples answered even more strongly. But, they did not understand why Jesus said so. 

Jesus and his disciples came to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus asked his disciples to pray, and then he prayed. 

Jesus knew that he would be arrested soon and crucified to death. So, he was worried about his disciples and prayed, sweating like crazy. He tried to wake up the sleeping disciples three times and ask them to pray. But, one of his disciples cannot resist sleep and open their eyes. 



In the early next morning, Jesus woke up Peter, James and John who were still sleeping. 

Beneath the place, people were buzzing around. The Roman troops carrying a beacon, the high priests and the teachers of laws with clubs and swords went up the hill in the darkness.

Judas had given the crowd signal to arrest the man whom he would kiss. He said, "Teacher," going to Jesus, and kissed him. When a high priest was just about to capture Jesus, Peter drew his sword and struck at the high priest, cutting off his ear. 

Jesus touched and healed his ears, and then, said to Peter. 

"Put your sword in its place. All who take the sword will die by the sword." 

Then, he said to them. 

"Did you have to come with swords and clubs to capture me? Did you see me in the holy temple, all the time? All things are done so that prophecy will come true." 

The high priests and teachers of laws captured Jesus. His disciples were so terrified that they fled away, leaving Jesus alone.
