Bible Question: why does one gospel say Jesus and Apostles have last supper and in another that Jesus was removed before passover??? |
Bible Answer: The synoptic gospels have many similarities in their portrayal of the passover meal. Institution of the "Last Supper" .... Jesus predicts Peter's denial (in all 4, but how many times will the rooster crow?) Matthew 26:17-30. Mark 14:12-21. Luke 22:7-13. John 13-17 ---- wow. Is this whole passage presented as during the "Last Supper"? Or did I miss a scene change somewhere. Those amazing prayer passages, I had always pictured happening on the Mount of Olives --- more intimate --- but here, teaching and praying flow seamlessly together. Around the Seder table. Now Kewerman -- Chapter 13 begins with the phrase, "Now before the Feast of the Passover...." Is this the phrase that troubles you as a contradiction? It goes on with "And supper being ended...." (verse 2) So, I think John does show them celebrating the passover together. It shows Jesus' thoughts before the Feast, and his discussion with the disciples after. I love the elements included in John's gospel --- the footwashing, for instance. I think it is important to read the gospels together, AND separately. By conflating each of their narratives, we sometimes miss the distinctive emphasis of each unique gospel. |
