Jesus Last Supper: Luke 22:7-23

Children are seated in a semi-circle around the teacher, quiet and ready to listen to the story. The
teacher will have the materials hidden in a box until they are to be used for the story.
1. Teacher will place the bible in front of them.
This story comes from our special book, the Bible.
2. Place a brown piece of felt onto the ground to represent the path on the way to the city and place
Jesus, Peter and John onto the path.
The day before Passover, Jesus had asked Peter and John, his two disciples to prepare the Passover
meal.
Peter had asked Jesus: Where do you want us to make preparations for it? Jesus had instructed
them to find the man carrying a jar of water and ask if they may have the supper in the mans guest
room. And so they did as they were instructed.
3. Put Jesus back into the box, Move Peter and John to the other side of the path and place the other
man next to them.
Peter and John had found the man and said to him: The teacher asks you: Where is your guest
room? Where may I eat the Passover with my disciples? The man had showed them where the
room was and Peter and John started to make preparations for the Passover.
4. Place a green rectangular piece of felt on the ground to represent the table. Then place the 12
disciples along one side of the table and place Jesus in the middle of them.
When it was time for the Passover, Jesus took his place at the table and said to his disciples: I have
eagerly wanted to eat this Passover with you before I suffer because I will not be able to eat it until
the kingdom of heaven has been fulfilled.
5. Place a piece of bread on the felt table.
Jesus then lifted up the loaf of broad and after giving thanks he said: Take this all of you, share it
among you and eat it. This is my body which will be given for you. Do this in memory of me.
6. Place a cup on the felt table.
Jesus then lifted up the cup of wine after supper and he said: This cup of wine is the new covenant
in my blood. But when I am gone, the one that will betray me is with us on the table. The disciples
then started to ask one another which one of them it could be.


7. Carefully place all the materials back into the box and read the I wonder questions as the
students continue to sit quietly in a semi-circle whilst the teacher may turn on quiet music to allow
the students think about their responses to the questions.
I wonder what it would have been like to share this meal with Jesus
I wonder what Jesus meant by the words This is my body which will be given for you
I wonder how Jesus felt as he shared this meal with his disciples.
I wonder how we remember Jesus in the mass.
I wonder if you can remember another time when Jesus shared a meal with his friends.
