Holy Week
Maundy Thursday Reading



The Thursday of Holy Week—Maundy ThursdayThe day before Good Fridaythe Friday before Easter.

Luke 22:7-16 “..And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat..” From Bethany Jesus sent two of His disciples, Peter and John ahead to the Upper Room in Jerusalem to make the preparations for the Passover FeastThat evening after sunset, When Jesus and His disciples sat down together at the table; Jesus took the cup, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood, poured out for many, for the forgiveness of sins.” Luke 22:17-18 “And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.”. The wine spoke of His blood, indicating the terrible death He would soon experience. In the same way, He took a loaf of bread and gave thanks to God. As He broke it and gave it to His disciples, He said, “Take eat, this is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19 “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.” He declared that the bread spoke of His body which would be broken. There was not a broken bone, but His body was so badly tortured that it was hardly recognizable Isaiah 53:4-7 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”( See also in Ps 22:12-17). He, the perfect Son of God, became the fulfillment of the all Old Testament prophecies concerning a Redeemer Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (See also Psalm 22; Isaiah 53). It was during this last meal that Jesus mentions that Peter will dynes Him three times and one of His disciples would betray Him and He will not drink of the fruit of the vine again until He drinks it again with His followers in the Father’s kingdom. Luke 22 :33-34 “Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. 34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.” And John 13:21 “When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.”



As the Lamb of God, Jesus was about to fulfill the meaning of the Passover by giving His body to be broken and His blood to be shed in sacrifice, freeing us from sin and death. When He said, “Do this in remembrance of me,” Luke 22 :19 He specified this was a ceremony that must be continued in the future. It specified also that the Passover, which required the death of a lamb “Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock…” Deuteronomy 16:1-8 and looked forward to the coming of the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world, was fulfilled in theLord’s Supper John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”. The New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant when Christ, the Passover Lamb was sacrificed; read Hebrews 8:8-13 and 1 Corinthians 5:7 “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:”, The sacrificial system was no longer needed (Read full) Hebrews 9:25-28 “…but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself…”. And this is The Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion); It’s a remembrance of what Christ did for us and a celebration of what we receive as a result of His sacrifice. Amazing grace…. J

Pastor Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:26 about theLord’s Supper, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” This places a time limit on the ceremony—until our Lord’s return. And we look forward to once again sharing the cup with Christ in the Kingdom of God Matthew 26:29 “But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” and see also Mark 14: 25; Luke 22:18. (Important Note—Read 1 Corinthians 11:27-29)



Second, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet as an act of humility and service John 13:4-15, “He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded…”, thereby setting an example that we should love and serve one another in humility. Then Jesus explained the true meaning of being washed by Him. John 13:8-20 “…Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me…” The disciples had experienced the cleansing of salvation and did not need to be washed again in the spiritual sense. Salvation is a one-time act of justification by faith Romans 1:17 “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”, but the lifelong process of sanctification is one of washing from the stain of sin we experience as we walk through the world Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”. Peter and the disciples—all except Judas, who never belonged to Christ—needed only this temporal cleansing. For us, washing feet is symbolic of our role in the body of Christ. As His followers, we are to follow Him, serving one another in lowliness of heart and mind, seeking to build one another up in humility and love and when we serving each other with a loving heart, the Lord promised, we will be greatly blessed John 13:17 “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”.


That evening, they went out into the night to the Mount of Olives; He concluded the feast by singing a hymn Matthew 26:30 “And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.”. It was there at Gethsemane, Jesus was betrayed with a kiss by Judas Iscariot and arrested by the Sanhedrin. He was taken to the home of Caiaphas, the High Priest, where the whole council had gathered to begin making their case against Jesus. Meanwhile, in the early morning hours, as Jesus' trial was getting underway, Peter denied knowing his Master three times before the rooster crowed.

We are saved by grace, through faith, apart from works Ephesians 2:8–9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” when we come to Christ and being Baptized with the water and the Spirit for the washing of our sins, we can be sure that is permanent and complete Acts 2:38 “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the giftof the Holy Ghost.” and Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”. 


1 Corinthians 11:23–34
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat this is my body, which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
  
Philippians 2:1-11
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Hebrews 8:8-13
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”.

Hebrews 9:25-28
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.


Romans 6:9–10
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.


Luke 22:7-22  (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:17-25; ; and John 13:21-30)
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished there make ready.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

Isaiah 53:4-7
Who hath believed our report?  and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment and who shall declare his generation?  for he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.


Psalm 22:12-17
Many bulls have compassed me strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones they look and stare upon me

We all sinned n deserve GOD’s judgment, but our loving FATHER, GOD sent HIS only begotten SON to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in HIM. JESUS, our LORD who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that HE died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buries n rose from the dead according to the Holy Bible. If you truly believe n trust in your heart, receiving JESUS alone as your SAVIOUR, declaring (by Baptism) JESUS is The LORD n SAVIOUR, you will be SAVED from the judgment n spend ETERNITY with GOD in HEAVEN…. In The name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.. Amen
