258

What ceremony was instituted at the Last Supper?

Synoptics: The Eucharist ([Matt. xxvi, 26–28]; [Mark xiv, 22–24]; [Luke xxii, 19, 20]).

John: The washing of feet ([xiii, 4–9]).

John does not mention the former ceremony, and the Synoptics do not mention the latter; yet each is said to have been performed immediately after supper.
