    The Twelve along with Jesus joined them in an upper room to celebrate the final Passover and inaugurate the first Communion. Depicted in Mark 14:17-26, in two ways we see that the New Passover began with 1) The Final Passover (Mark 14:17–21) and concludes with 2) The First Communion (Mark 14:22–26)

    Mark 14:17–26. 17And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to ...read more
