Summary of Matthew 26:17-30
When Passover arrived on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples asked Jesus where he wanted them to make preparations. He sent them into the city to a man’s house. That evening, Jesus told the disciples that one of them will betray him. All of the disciples ask if it is them. Jesus says it will be the one who has dipped his hand into the bowl, and it would be better if that man would not have been born. Jesus tells Judas it is him, when he asks Jesus.
At the Passover meal, Jesus took the bread and broke it, passing it to his disciples. He said this is his body and for them to eat it. Then he took the cup and told the disciples to drink, as it represented his blood of the covenant, which is poured out in order to forgive them all. Jesus says he will not drink it until the day he drinks it anew in his Father’s kingdom. They sang a hymn and then went out to the Mount of Olives.
Questions for Matthew 26:17-30
6) Jesus was without blemish, as was the requirement to have a lamb without blemish. Jesus’ blood cleansed us, as did the lamb’s. Covered in Jesus’ blood with faith in him, we will receive everlasting life. The blood of the lamb graced the doorway to protect them from death. They were passed over and protected. Others are not protected who do not believe in Jesus as Savior.
7) We practice communion to remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us and to cleanse us of our sins. We take a moment to remember what Jesus did for us. It also represents the New Covenant with Jesus as our sacrificial lamb.
