This is the episode is part 33 in a study of the gospel of Luke. This chapter looks at the last passover meal that Jesus celebrates with the disciples which we commonly call the last supper. Jesus tells the disciples again that he will suffer, that one will betray him, that Jesus will deny him. He also has to deal once again with them arguing among themselves who is the greatest among them. The greatest among them came as a suffering servant, his body broken for us and his blood shed for us.
