It is important to have an idea of the basic chronology of the events surrounding the death of Christ. The truth of the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is rooted in historical events. Just as the Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was an historical event, so were the events surrounding Jesus' betrayal, death, resurrection, and ascension. We will briefly summarize the main points of his betrayal, death, and burial.
The Last Supper
The final night of Jesus' earthly life began with the celebration of the Last Supper with his intimate disciples. Jesus, in an act of humility, washed the feet of his disciples (John 13:1-20). While they were eating the Last Supper Jesus announced that one of them would betray him.
A New Ordinance Given
After they had finished eating, Jesus introduced a new ordinance that his followers would observe - the Lord's Supper.
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you (Luke 22:17-20).
Jesus then gave them the Upper Room Discourse. This contained teaching on a number of important subjects. He was continuing to teach these disciples up until the very end.
